Juvenile root traits show limited correlation with grain yield, yield components and grain mineral composition traits

In Indian wheat under hostile soils.

Abstract

Correlations between juvenile wheat root traits, and grain yield and yield component traits under optimal field conditions have previously been reported in some conditions. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that juvenile wheat root traits correlate with yield, yield components and grain mineral composition traits under a range of soil environments in India.

This is a publication arising from the Sustainable Crop production for International Development (SCPRID) programme.
