Root biology and genetic improvement for drought avoidance in rice (2011, background): “Root traits have been claimed to be critical for increasing yield under soil-related stresses (Lynch, 2007; Serraj et al., 2004).”
A consensus map of QTLs controlling the root length of maize (2011, background): “Roots are in the focus of Lynch’s vision of a second Green Revolution to increase productivity in soils with suboptimal fertility (Lynch 2007).”
What is the significance of the arbuscular mycorrhizal colonisation of many economically important crop plants? (2011, background): “, Gahoonia and Nielsen 2004), but AM symbiosis sometimes receives very little consideration (e.g., Cornish 2009; Lynch 2007; Richardson 2009).”
ROOT STRATEGIES FOR PHOSPHORUS ACQUISITION (2008, background): “Root hairs are attractive targets for crop breeding programs because there is large genotypic variation, substantial effect of this variation on PAE (regardless of mycorrhizal status), relatively simple genetic control, and opportunities for direct phenotypic selection (Gahoonia and Nielsen 2004; Ly”
Soil and fertilizer phosphorus in relation to crop nutrition (2008, background): “Phosphorus efficient genotypes that yield between 200% and 300% more than existing cultivars are being used as parents in bean breeding programs in Latin America and Africa (Lynch 2007).”
A plant root system architectural taxonomy: A framework for root nomenclature (2010, background): “Ongoing and future research on plant roots may provide high-impact solutions to current and future food scarcities: such as a second green revolution (Lynch 2007) or a blue revolution (Finkel 2009).”
Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives (2016, background): “Interacting biological, chemical, and physical processes affect crop root uptake and production (Lynch, 2007; Hinsinger et al., 2009; Richardson et al., 2009; Den Herder et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2011), especially under limiting conditions.”
Root anatomy and soil resource capture (2021, background): “In developing nations, low crop yields caused by drought and low soil fertility are primary constraints to food security, economic development, and political stability (Lynch 2007, 2019).”
Managing the Nutrition of Plants and People (2012, positive): “The trait of PUpE has been attributed to improved root architectures, particularly greater production of lateral roots, topsoil foraging characteristics, the production of root hairs, and the exudation of organic acids and phosphatases into the rhizosphere [65, 79, 82, 89, 90].”
Plant nutrition for sustainable development and global health. (2010, background): “…mineral elements (Eticha et al., 2010; Führs et al., 2010; Kobayashi et al., 2010; Miwa and Fujiwara, 2010), fertilizer use efficiencies in crops (Masclaux-Daubresse et al., 2010; White et al., 2010) and the biofortification of edible portions with essential mineral elements (Ding et al., 2010).”
Root to shoot and carbon to nitrogen ratios of maize and soybean crops in the US Midwest (2020, background): “Moreover, there are growing efforts to breed crops for “enhanced root phenotypes” to combat climate change and increase resource use efficiency (Lynch, 2007; Paustian et al., 2016).”
