Uncommon selection by root system size increases barley yield
Original language description
Most agronomy practices such as fertilization, irrigation, and soil treatment involve plant root interactions. However, the role of plant roots is rarely assessed during agricultural experiments due to the lack of suitable methods. Plant varieties with alarger root system use soil water and nutrients in dry environments more effectively than varieties with a smaller root system. Such large root varieties can be developed by breeding. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of selection for large or small root systems in 12 barley populations developed via the mutual crossing of four parents in the F3 generation as a response to selection in the preceding F2 generation. Root system size was analyzed by measuring electrical capacitance. Results show that our selection method was effective because the progeny of plants with larger root systems also had larger root systems. Conversely, the progeny of plants with smaller root systems also had smaller root systems. The average differences were
