Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of drought-resistance traits for development of rice cultivars adapted to rainfed environments (2008, background): “Genotypic differences in the ability to penetrate compacted soil layers have been reported (Babu et al., 2001; Samson et al., 2002); these differences are associated with the amount of water extracted from below the compacted layer (Hoque and Kobata, 2000; Kobata et al., 2000).”
Climate change and food security (2005, background): “Again, this science is at an early stage of development for root traits, but significant progress has been made in studies of drought tolerance with rice (Champoux et al. 1995; Babu et al. 2001).”
Root biology and genetic improvement for drought avoidance in rice (2011, methodology): “…from puddling improve soil water retention capacity (Sharma and De Datta, 1985) but hinder root penetration to reach moisture in deeper zones of soil after drying occurs (Ghildyal, 1978; Hasegawa et al., 1985; Yu et al., 1995; Clark et al., 2000, 2002; Babu et al., 2001; Samson et al., 2002).”
Genotypic Variation in Root Growth Angle in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) and its Association with Deep Root Development in Upland Fields with Different Water Regimes (2006, unknown): “1985) and higher penetration ability (Babu et al. 2001; Cairns et al. 2004; Yu et al. 1995), but also due to higher nodal root growth angles.”
Characterization of the effect of a QTL for drought resistance in rice, qtl12.1, over a range of environments in the Philippines and eastern India (2009, background): “Lowland trials were not included in any of the above regressions given that there are many reports indicating that drought resistance under upland and lowland conditions is often the result of different physiological mechanisms (Fukai and Cooper 1995; Babu et al. 2001) and that qtl12.”
Chilling and Drought Stresses in Crop Plants: Implications, Cross Talk, and Potential Management Opportunities (2018, background): “In general, varieties having characters of deep and prolific root system were better able to sustain growth and yield under water-deficit conditions (Babu et al., 2001).”
Identification of QTLs controlling rice drought tolerance at seedling stage in hydroponic culture (2008, background): “important implication of these results is that drought avoidance and drought tolerance are different adaptive strategies that have evolved under different ecological constraints (Nguyen et al. 1997; Babu et al. 2001).”
