The ability of an organism to change its phenotype in response to different environments,
termed plasticity, is a particularly important characteristic to enable sessile plants to adapt to …

Field-based high throughput plant phenotyping has recently gained increased interest in the
efforts to bridge the genotyping and phenotyping gap and accelerate plant breeding for crop …

Core Ideas UAS captured increased genetic variation compared with manual terminal
height. There were small significant differences in ground filtering methods to extract plant …

Olive is a long-living perennial species with a wide geographical distribution, showing a
large genetic and phenotypic variation in its growing area. There is an urgent need to …

The process of evolution under domestication has been studied using phylogenetics,
population genetics–genomics, quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, gene expression …

Core Ideas Subcanopy rovers enabled 3D characterization of thousands of hybrid maize
plots. Machine learning produces heritable latent traits that describe plant architecture …

Increases in agricultural productivity are necessary to meet anticipated demands, and these
increases must occur in an environmentally sustainable fashion. However, it has become …

Heritable variation in polygenic (quantitative) traits is critical for adaptive evolution and is
especially important in this era of rapid climate change. In this study, we examined the levels …

Variation in kernel composition across maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm is affected by a
combination of the plant's genotype, the environment in which it is grown, and the interaction …

Living representatives of the wild progenitors of domesticated species constitute a significant
basis for morphological and genetic study of once ancestral plants and their early …
