    A comparison between water uptake and root length density in winter wheat: effects of root density and rhizosphere properties

    We aim to quantify the variation in root distribution in a set of 35 experimental wheat lines. We also compared the effect of variation in hydraulic properties of the rhizosphere on water uptake by roots.
