Research demonstrates deep rooting enhances water uptake and reduces stress in winter wheat, indicating phenotyping potential for breeding.

Deep rooting enhances nitrogen uptake and reduces water stress, leading to better yield performance.
In 2023, genotypes with deeper roots had three times greater nitrogen uptake compared to shallow-rooted ones.
Using minirhizotron imaging, we studied deep rooting and its effects on water and nitrogen absorption over three years.
These findings support the inclusion of deep rooting traits in breeding programs to combat climate change.

Odone et al. (2025) studied this question.
