Maize and soybean root front velocity and maximum depth in Iowa, USA (2018, background): “Our maize RFV values were comparable with previous reported values of 2.56–2.91 cm d−1 (Singh et al., 2010); and lie in the middle of previous estimates: 3–6 cm d−l (Taylor and Kepler, 1973; Dardanelli et al., 1997), 1.3 cm d−l (Allmaras et al., 1975) and 1.1 cm d−1 (Cahn et al., 1989).”
Drought Stress and Root-Associated Bacterial Communities (2018, background): “Grasses such as sorghum that evolved in more arid regions display a more vertical root morphology and deeper rooting depth than grasses such as maize that evolved in more temperate regions (Singh et al., 2010).”
Shovelomics: high throughput phenotyping of maize (Zea mays L.) root architecture in the field (2011, background): “Roots with shallow angles will predominantly explore the topsoil (Lynch and Brown 2001), while roots with steep angles will predominantly explore deeper soil layers (Singh et al. 2010).”
Comparison of drought tolerance of maize, sweet sorghum and sorghum-Sudangrass hybrids (2014, background): “Singh et al. (2010) showed that the root systems of maize and sorghum differ in morphology and architectural development.”
Maize root growth angles become steeper under low N conditions (2013, background): “The main factors determining root depth distribution and rooing depth are the length and number of crown roots (Abe and orita, 1994) and root angle (Araki et al., 2000; Singh et al., 2010).”
A consensus map of QTLs controlling the root length of maize (2011, background): “However, genetic variation for root angles of seminal roots exists (Hund 2010; Singh et al. 2010) and ranges from almost vertical to almost horizontal (Hund 2010).”
