Morphological and physiological traits for higher biomass production in perennial rhizomatous grasses grown on marginal land (2015, background): “This selective breeding has gone hand in hand with improved management practices and in many cases the relative contributions of management and breeding have been about equal (Richards, 2000, 2004).”
A water-centred framework to assess the effects of salinity on the growth and yield of wheat and barley (2010, methodology): “Passioura’s model is widely used to dissect adaptations to water deficit (Reynolds and Tuberosa 2008; Richards 2006) but it has rarely been applied in salinity studies.”
Climate change in south-west Australia and north-west China: challenges and opportunities for crop production (2011, background): “Selection for increased transpiration efficiency and osmotic adjustment in wheat has led to the release of new cultivars for water-scarce environments (Richards 2006).”
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (2008, background): “In recent years, the CSIRO Plant Industry Division has released the two first commercial wheat varieties (Drysdale in 2002, and Rees in 2003) selected for high transpiration efficiency using 13C as the selection criterion (Richards, 2006).”
Adaptation of wheat, barley, canola, field pea and chickpea to the thermal environments of Australia (2015, background): “Conceptual frameworks have contributed to robust thinking on crop adaptation to water deficit (Passioura 1977; Richards 2006; Reynolds and Tuberosa 2008), and comparable models are required to articulate lists of traits and practices to cope with increasing temperature.”
Yield gap analysis of field crops: Methods and case studies (2015, background): “Other factors that affect seasonal soil evaporation, chiefly by changing the partitioning of radiant energy between canopy and soil, include tillage and stubble management, row-spacing and sowing density, the rate of canopy expansion early in the season and the rate of senescence as affected by cult”
The role of root architectural traits in adaptation of wheat to water-limited environments. (2006, background): “The root characters identified in this study might prove useful as secondary selection criteria in breeding programs, providing these physiological traits are highly heritable and relatively simple and inexpensive to screen, which is a key requirement for breeding programs (Richards 2006).”
Improving water use in crop production (2008, methodology): “Richards (2004) has emphasized that progress in increasing commercial crop yields in water-scarce environments has been made by selecting plants for a variety of characters which can impact on yield by influencing components of the Passioura equation (equation (3.2)).”
Genotypic variation in seedling root architectural traits and implications for drought adaptation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2008, background): “Compared to shoot-related traits, integration of drought-adaptive root characteristics in breeding for drought-tolerant wheat cultivars has been relatively less successful (Sinclair et al. 2004; Richards 2006).”
Drought tolerance improvement in crop plants: An integrated view from breeding to genomics (2008, neutral): “(2005), Richards (2006)”
