Vukasovic S, Alahmad S, Christopher J, Snowdon R, Stahl A, Hickey L
Front Plant Sci . 2022 Jan; 12:754439. PMID: 35046971
Due to the climate change and an increased frequency of drought, it is of enormous importance to identify and to develop traits that result in adaptation and in improvement of...

Alahmad S, Kang Y, Dinglasan E, Mazzucotelli E, Voss-Fels K, Able J, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2020 Jul; 21(15). PMID: 32722187
Durum wheat ( L. ssp. ) production can experience significant yield losses due to crown rot (CR) disease. Losses are usually exacerbated when disease infection coincides with terminal drought. Durum...

Rich S, Wasson A, Richards R, Katore T, Prashar R, Chowdhary R, et al.
Funct Plant Biol . 2020 Jun; 43(2):173-188. PMID: 32480451
Many rainfed wheat production systems are reliant on stored soil water for some or all of their water inputs. Selection and breeding for root traits could result in a yield...
4.
Rich S, Christopher J, Richards R, Watt M
J Exp Bot . 2020 Apr; 71(16):4751-4762. PMID: 32347952
Using a field to lab approach, mature deep-rooting traits in wheat were correlated to root phenotypes measured on young plants from controlled conditions. Mature deep-rooting root traits of 20 wheat...

Anzooman M, Christopher J, Dang Y, Taylor J, Menzies N, Kopittke P
Ann Bot . 2019 Jun; 124(6):1043-1052. PMID: 31175829
Background And Aims: High exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and bulk density of sodic soils can reduce seedling emergence. This study examined variation in seedling coleoptile length and seminal root angle...

Alahmad S, El Hassouni K, Bassi F, Dinglasan E, Youssef C, Quarry G, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2019 Apr; 10:436. PMID: 31024600
The optimal root system architecture (RSA) of a crop is context dependent and critical for efficient resource capture in the soil. Narrow root growth angle promoting deeper root growth is...

Anzooman M, Dang Y, Christopher J, Mumford M, Menzies N, Kopittke P
Data Brief . 2018 Nov; 21:1598-1602. PMID: 30480073
The seed details (weight, vigor) and germination rate of 16 wheat () genotypes in a non-limiting conditions were measured. The dataset presents seed germination rate and seed vigor of 16...

Anzooman M, Dang Y, Christopher J, Mumford M, Menzies N, Kopittke P
Plant Sci . 2018 Nov; 277:188-195. PMID: 30466584
Surface crusting of sodic soils is a major problem in the semi-arid tropics when rapid drying after sowing follows light showers, leading to reduced seedling emergence and grain yield. The...

Fletcher A, Christopher J, Hunter M, Rebetzke G, Chenu K
Plant Methods . 2018 Sep; 14:77. PMID: 30181766
Background: Wheat ( L.) productivity is commonly limited by the availability of water. Increasing transpiration efficiency (biomass produced per unit of water used, TE) can potentially lead to increased grain...

Richard C, Christopher J, Chenu K, Borrell A, Christopher M, Hickey L
Plant Genome . 2018 Jul; 11(2). PMID: 30025018
A current challenge for plant breeders is the limited ability to phenotype and select for root characteristics to enhance crop productivity. The development of a high-throughput phenotyping method has recently...
