• Rhizosphere: biophysics, biogeochemistry and ecological relevance (2009, background): “The temporal development of the rhizosphere is equally relevant to consider (Jones et al. 2004; Watt et al. 2006a and 2006c), although relatively poorly documented.”
• Physiological traits and cereal germplasm for sustainable agricultural systems (2007, background): “…(3) 4.8 ± 0.3 4.3 to 5.3 (unpublished) Barleys (2) 6 ± 0 6 to 6 (unpublished) Wheat (240) 3.5 2 to 5 Richards and Passioura (1981) be very important in systems with minimum soil disturbance that are prone to interactions with soil organisms constraining wheat growth (Watt et al., 2003, 2006).”
• Genetic Opportunities to Improve Cereal Root Systems for Dryland Agriculture (2008, background): “Roots of annual plants often grow in pre-existing channels that may have formed from earlier vegetation or down other paths of least resistance such as soil cracks (Watt et al., 2006).”
• Efficacy of Biofertilizers: Challenges to Improve Crop Production (2016, background): “…of the soil microbiome is generally infl uenced by agricultural management practices (Bernard et al. 2012 ; Lumini et al. 2011 ; Reeve et al. 2010 ; Watt et al. 2006 ), with contrasting effects when comparing intensive and more environmental- friendly systems: the higher the management intensity…”
• Break crop benefits in temperate wheat production (2008, background): “…been shown to be in direct contact with the roots of previous crops (Watt et al., 2005) and new DNA and microscopy techniques have shown that this contact has a significant influence on the types of rhizosphere organisms which are present along the roots of the current crop (Watt et al., 2006b).”
• The rhizosphere: complex by design (2008, background): “Recent technological advances, however, have shown that like most ecological communities, the rhizosphere appears to be dauntingly complex (Watt et al. 2006a; Hinsinger et al. 2005 and 2008; Pierret et al. 2007).”
• Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (2009, background): “their interaction with plant mechanisms needs to be considered along with the significance of rhizosphere interactions under field conditions (Watt et al., 2006).”
