Interactions between water and nitrogen in Australian cropping systems: physiological, agronomic, economic, breeding and modelling perspectives (2016, background): “Selective pressure for yield in northern environments where crops rely on soil-stored water might have modified wheat phenotype differently, favouring deeper roots (Manschadi et al. 2006).”
A water-centred framework to assess the effects of salinity on the growth and yield of wheat and barley (2010, background): “…al. (2005) and Sadras (2009) wheat in eastern Australia has favoured shallower root systems associated with wider growth angle and lower number of seminal axes in southern environments compared to their counteparts adapted to deep clay soils in the northern cropping region (Manschadi et al. 2006).”
Wheat physiology: a review of recent developments (2011, background): “Variation in root depth and water extraction between genotypes has been shown by Manschadi et al. (2006) andLopes andReynolds (2010); it is also evident that longer cycle wheat tend to have deeper roots (Fig.”
Identifying traits to improve the nitrogen economy of wheat: Recent advances and future prospects (2009, background): “The use of root observation chambers and a non-destructive digital imaging technique offers some promise (Manschadi et al., 2006), but may be less suitable for screening root traits expressed at later stages of crop development.”
The large-effect drought-resistance QTL qtl12.1 increases water uptake in upland rice (2009, positive): “It has been estimated, based onmodel simulations inwheat, that every extramillimeter ofwater transpired leads to a yield gain of 20–60 kg ha 1 in well-managed disease-free cereal crops (Manschadi et al., 2006; Passioura, 2006; Kirkegaard et al., 2007).”
Developmental and physiological traits associated with high yield and stay-green phenotype in wheat (2008, positive): “Experimentswheresingleplantswereculturedinlargeroot observationchambershavedemonstratedthatSeriM82can extractmoresoilmoisturepersoilvolumethanHartog, particularlyatdepthlaterintheseason(Manschadi et al .”
Measuring root traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare and ssp. spontaneum) seedlings using gel chambers, soil sacs and X-ray microtomography (2009, background): “2003), and in water-limited environments (Manschadi et al. 2006).”
Breeding for increased nitrogen‐use efficiency: a review for wheat (T. aestivum L.) (2016, background): “…or clear-pot) (e.g. Lobet et al. 2011, Nagel et al. 2012, Richard et al. 2015) and non-destructive digital imaging techniques offers some promises (Manschadi et al. 2006, 2010), as X-ray computed tomography (Gregory et al. 2003, Lontoc-Roy et al. 2006, Hargreaves et al. 2009, Mooney et al. 2012,…”
Genotypic variation in seedling root architectural traits and implications for drought adaptation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2008, background): “It has been shown in wheat (Manschadi et al. 2006; Kirkegaard et al. 2007) and sorghum (Hammer 2006) that small amounts of water “shifted” from pre- to post- anthesis in this way can have major effects on grain yield in water-limited situations.”
Modelling possible benefits of root related traits to enhance terminal drought adaptation of chickpea (2012, background): “Studies on other crops and environments also show that increasing the depth of effective water extraction has positive consequence in terms of crop yield (e.g. Sinclair and Muchow, 2001; Manschadi et al., 2006; Ludwig and Asseng, 2010), and is related to a higher water-capturing capacity during the ”
