Breeding for increased nitrogen‐use efficiency: a review for wheat (T. aestivum L.) (2016, background): “However, laboratory screens have focused mainly on seedlings, with seedlings growing on germination paper or in growth pouches (e.g. Hund et al. 2009, Bai et al. 2013, Atkinson et al. 2015).”
Soil compaction effects on growth and root traits of tobacco depend on light, water regime and mechanical stress (2012, unknown): “A decrease in root diameter has been suggested (Hund et al., 2009) in response to water stress.”
Morphological and architectural development of root systems in sorghum and maize (2010, unknown): “Similarly, blotting paper pouches are unlikely to work for sorghum, as autotrophic growth only lasts for approximately 10 days in maize (Hund et al. 2009) and is unlikely to be longer in sorghum.”
Growth of axile and lateral roots of maize: I development of a phenotying platform (2009, background): “By contrast, genetic variation in the growth rates of axile roots in maize may be exploited for a better acquisition of water from deep soil layers ( Hund et al. 2008b ) or a better N efficiency (Liu et al. 2008).”
A consensus map of QTLs controlling the root length of maize (2011, background): “Furthermore, transpiration may be decreased due to an increased abscisic acid signal from roots in dry superficial soil layers as discussed by Giuliani et al. (2005) and Hund et al. (2009a).”
Small temporal differences in water uptake among varieties of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) are critical for grain yield under terminal drought (2013, background): “However, several reports have shown that staygreen was likely to be associated with the maintenance of root growth (Hatlitligil et al. 1984; MacKay and Barber 1986), which could be another means of making water available.”
Shovelomics: high throughput phenotyping of maize (Zea mays L.) root architecture in the field (2011, background): “At the flowering stage, roots have been measured in the field (Laboski et al. 1998; Kato et al. 2006), in soil boxes (Araki et al. 2000) and in soil columns (Hund et al. 2009a; Araki and Iijima 1998; Zhu et al. 2010).”
GROWSCREEN-Rhizo is a novel phenotyping robot enabling simultaneous measurements of root and shoot growth for plants grown in soil-filled rhizotrons. (2012, background): “…substrates, including transparent agarose gel or gellan gum (Nagel et al. 2006; Iyer-15 Pascuzzi et al. 2010), paper rolls (Zhu and Lynch 2004), growth pouches consisting of 16 blotting paper covered by plastic foil (Hund et al. 2009), and hydroponic cultures (Jones 17 1982; Tuberosa et al. 2002).”
Comparison of drought tolerance of maize, sweet sorghum and sorghum-Sudangrass hybrids (2014, background): “Hund et al. (2009) observed a similar root distribution pattern in tropical maize.”
