Canopy temperature depression (CTD), the difference between canopy temperature (CT)
and air temperature, is induced by evaporative cooling of the plants when stomata open and …

The shoot and root system architectures are fundamental for crop productivity. During the
history of artificial selection of domestication and post-domestication breeding, the …

The drought response index (DRI) is an indicator of drought tolerance after adjustment for
variation in flowering date and potential yield under well-watered conditions. Using a …

Lowland and upland rice are the two most important rice ecotypes and are grown under
different ecosystems of contrasting soil water conditions. The study aimed to characterize …

Drought stress in Southeast Asia greatly affects rice production, and the rice root system
plays a substantial role in avoiding drought stress. In this study, we examined the phenotypic …

Inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may enhance crop growth in upland
fields, depending on the water regime. To quantify changes in AMF infection rate and …

The genetic basis for root vascular traits in rice, despite its direct impacts on root axial and
radial hydraulic conductivity, has not been widely studied compared with deep rooting traits …

Food security and sustainability are facing challenges due to the increase in population and
the large amount of dry land that has not been optimized for utilization. Rice cultivated in …

抄録 Investigating effects of introgressed root-trait QTLs in field environments is a
challenging task. Seven rice BC 3 F 4 lines with at least one of six QTLs for root vertical …

Characterizing roots according to their branching order and anatomy is a useful approach
for identifying functional differences within and among root systems. In this study, the root …
