New types of phenotyping tools generate large amounts of data on many aspects of plant
physiology and morphology with high spatial and temporal resolution. These new …

Combined phenomic and genomic approaches are required to evaluate the margin of
progress of breeding strategies. Here, we analyze 65 years of genetic progress in maize …

In the past decades, genomic prediction has had a large impact on plant breeding. Given the
current advances of high-throughput phenotyping and sequencing technologies, it is …

Key message A genomic segment on maize chromosome 7 influences carbon isotope
composition, water use efficiency, and leaf growth sensitivity to drought, possibly by affecting …

With the advent of high-throughput phenotyping platforms, plant breeders have a means to
assess many traits for large breeding populations. However, understanding the genetic …

Background Plant breeders seek to develop cultivars with maximal agronomic value, which
is often assessed using numerous, often genetically correlated traits. As intervention on one …

Plant systems show dynamic responses, such as changes in architecture and physiology, to
adjust their growth in changing environments. The reconfiguration of network modules …

Inferring trait networks from a large volume of genetically correlated diverse phenotypes
such as yield, architecture, and disease resistance can provide information on the manner in …

Genetic variance of a phenotypic trait can originate from direct genetic effects, or from
indirect effects, ie, through genetic effects on other traits, affecting the trait of interest. This …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs participating to several biological
processes and known to be involved in various pathologies. Measurable in body fluids …
