      abstract     = {Many rainfed wheat production systems are reliant on stored
                      soil water for some or all of their water inputs. Selection
                      and breeding for root traits could result in a yield
                      benefit; however, breeding for root traits has traditionally
                      been avoided due to the difficulty of phenotyping mature
                      root systems, limited understanding of root system
                      development and function, and the strong influence of
                      environmental conditions on the phenotype of the mature root
                      system. This paper outlines an international field selection
                      program for beneficial root traits at maturity using soil
                      coring in India and Australia. In the rainfed areas of
                      India, wheat is sown at the end of the monsoon into hot
                      soils with a quickly receding soil water profile; in season
                      water inputs are minimal. We hypothesised that wheat
                      selected and bred for high yield under these conditions
                      would have deep, vigorous root systems, allowing them to
                      access and utilise the stored soil water at depth around
                      anthesis and grain-filling when surface layers were dry. The
                      Indian trials resulted in 49 lines being sent to Australia
                      for phenotyping. These lines were ranked against 41 high
                      yielding Australian lines. Variation was observed for deep
                      root traits e.g. in eastern Australia in 2012, maximum depth
                      ranged from 118.8 to 146.3 cm. There was significant
                      variation for root traits between sites and years, however,
                      several Indian genotypes were identified that consistently
                      ranked highly across sites and years for deep rooting
                      traits.},
