DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-4011-4
Abstract: A significant fraction of the terrestrial biosphere comprises biomes containing tree–grass mixtures. Forecasting vegetation dynamics in these environments requires a thorough understanding of how trees and grasses use and compete for key belowground resources. There… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10681-019-2404-7
Abstract: Breeding for enhanced rooting depth and root biomass in deeper soil layers is a promising strategy to adapt wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants to drought periods. We evaluated (1) the extent of indirect selection of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1007866
Abstract: Potato is one of the most important vegetable crops worldwide. Its growth, development and ultimately yield is hindered by drought stress condition. Breeding and selection of deep-rooted and drought-tolerant potato varieties has become a prime… read more here.
