Sentence examples for breeding for root from inspiring English sources

While this leaves plenty of room for improvement, breeding for root hair traits will be challenging since root hair development depends strongly on the growth environment.

While there are several examples of the introduction in breeding programmes of root traits that enhance nutrient uptake from nutrient-impoverished soils (see Wissuwa et al., 2009), we are not aware of any examples of breeding for root traits to enhance nutrient uptake and thereby reduce fertilizer requirements of high-yielding crops.

Breeding for root architecture necessitates identifying the genetic determinants of root development.

The data from this study form the basis for future research leading to selection and breeding for suitable root traits for soil constraints and provides information for alleviating management of compacted soil in deep sandy soils.

Therefore, we believe that the Yumeaoba allele of DRO5 would be more useful for breeding for deep rooting than the Kinandang Patong allele.

Given the importance of drought, it is therefore unrealistic to contemplate breeding for purely shallow roots.

Breeding for high-yielding irrigated rice has favored shallow root system phenotypes that easily capture resources in the topsoil layer whereas breeding for low input upland conditions has, conversely, favored deep root systems with strong foraging capacity and nutrient extraction ability from poor soil layers.

Understanding white lupin root development and metabolism will facilitate breeding for favorable agronomic traits.

Identification of undetected QTLs for root traits in the IK-CSSLs will accelerate marker-assisted selection for characteristics of the root system architecture, which will in turn support breeding for improved drought avoidance in rice.

In addition, we demonstrate plasticity of many root traits in response to low phosphorus, an important characteristic to consider when breeding for low phosphorus adaptation in crops.

There is a lack of information on the classification of root distribution patterns for many peanut genotypes and the relationship between rooting traits and yield under mid-season drought, which could be useful for breeding for drought tolerance.
