The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Recent progress in the ancient lentil (2006, background): “Seedling shoot and root traits such as taproot length and lateral root number are important traits for drought tolerance (Sarker et al. 2005).”
Crops that feed the world 3. Investing in lentil improvement toward a food secure world (2011, background): “Several researchers have reported useful genetic variation in response to drought stress under different conditions within the cultivated germplasm (Erskine et al. 1994; Shrestha et al. 2005, 2006; Sarker et al. 2005; Kumar et al. 2009).”
Screening techniques and sources of resistance to abiotic stresses in cool-season food legumes (2006, unknown): “Selection for deep and extensive root system has been advocated to increase productivity of food legumes under moisture-deficit conditions as it can optimize the capacity to acquire water (Subbarao et al., 1995; Serraj et al., 2004a; Sarker et al., 2005).”
