Interactions between water and nitrogen in Australian cropping systems: physiological, agronomic, economic, breeding and modelling perspectives (2016, background): “Richards et al. (2014) provide further insight in an extended assessment of agronomic and breeding contributions to wheat-yield improvement in Australia, where they highlight the higher rates of yield gain under more favourable, wetter conditions.”
Water and temperature stress define the optimal flowering period for wheat in south-eastern Australia (2017, background): “Significant yield progress has been made by breeders selecting cultivars with development patterns such that once established in autumn they will flower during the optimal period (Richards, 1991; Richards et al., 2014).”
Five decades of selection for yield reduced root length density and increased nitrogen uptake per unit root length in Australian wheat varieties (2016, background): “Selection for yield reduced wheat root system and increased nitrogen uptake Breeders select primarily for yield, grain quality and disease resistance (Richards et al. 2014), but this selective pressure can lead to extraordinary changes in”
