• Breeding for high water-use efficiency. (2004, background): “Even a modest reallocation, reducing agriculture’s share to 70%, would increase the amount of water available for other purposes by up to 50% (Hamdy et al., 2003).”
• Effect of lime on root growth, morphology and the rhizosheath of cereal seedlings growing in an acid soil (2010, background): “The five wheat genotypes included the common Australian cultivar, Janz, and Vigour 18, a line identified as having vigorous root growth (Richards and Lukacs 2002).”
• The limit to wheat water-use efficiency in eastern Australia. II. Influence of rainfall patterns (2007, background): “Currently, the view of breeders in Australia has converged with that of Cooper, favouring plant traits associated with rapid water use to prevent soil evaporation in environments with dominant winter rainfall (Richards et al. 1993; Rebetzke and Richards 1999; Botwright et al. 2002; Richards and Luka”
• Genotypic variation in specific leaf area for genetic improvement of early vigour in wheat (2004, background): “The large genotypic range in SLA was consistent with previous reports of varietal differences for wheat and barley genotypes (e.g. Rawson et al., 1987; López-Castañeda et al., 1995; Richards and Lukacs, 2002).”
• Breeding crops for reduced-tillage management in the intensive, rice–wheat systems of South Asia (2006, background): “Variation for early vigour was reported in wheat (Singh et al. 1998a; Richards and Lukacs 2001) and oats (Radford and Key 1993), and further improvement could be obtained by understanding and utilizing factors that contribute to greater vigour in barley (Richards et al.”
• Approaches to increasing the salt tolerance of wheat and other cereals. (2006, background): “…Kingsbury and Epstein, 1984; Sharma et al., 1984; Ashraf, 2002), apart from an observation by Sharma et al. (1984) that it combined low Na+ uptake rates with successful osmotic adjustment, and the finding of Richards and Lukacs (2002) that it has unusually high specific leaf area and early vigour.”
• Genetic Opportunities to Improve Cereal Root Systems for Dryland Agriculture (2008, background): “A breeding line, Vig 18, developed by combining traits contributing to early aboveground vigour (Richards and Lukacs, 2002) has been shown to have greater root vigour in direct drilled soils (Watt et al.”
• Physiological traits and cereal germplasm for sustainable agricultural systems (2007, background): “The trait most likely to be important for increased above-ground as well as root vigour is the size of the embryo (Lopéz-Castañeda et al., 1996; Richards and Lukacs, 2002).”
• High-throughput phenotyping early plant vigour of winter wheat (2014, background): “Seedling vigour is affected by various genetic traits (Richards and Lukacs, 2002; Ellis et al., 2004; Rebetzke et al., 2007) and reflects the plant vigour at early growth stages.”
• Wheat physiology: a review of recent developments (2011, background): “Similarly it is postulated that selection for greater early vigour in wheat, for which there is substantial genetic variation, can significantly boost growth at little overall cost in ET (Richards and Lukacs 2002).”
