Breeding climate-resilient crops with improved levels of abiotic and biotic stress resistance
as a response to climate change presents both opportunities and challenges. Applying the …

Genotype-by-environment (G× E) interactions can significantly affect crop performance and
stability. Investigating G× E requires extensive data sets with diverse cultivars tested over …

Genomics has transformed our understanding of the genetic architecture of traits and the
genetic variation present in plants. Here, we present a review of how RNA-seq can be …

European traditional tomato varieties have been selected by farmers given their consistent
performance and adaptation to local growing conditions. Here we developed a multipurpose …

Efficient plant breeding plays a significant role in increasing crop yields and attaining food
security under climate change. Screening new cultivars through yield trials in multi …

Application of crop growth models (CGMs) in plant breeding is limited by the large number of
candidate cultivars that breeders work with and the large number of CGM parameters that …

Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of an individual to alter its phenotype in response to
changes in the environment, has been proposed as a target for breeding crop varieties with …

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of a given genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in
response to changing environmental conditions. Understanding the genetic basis of …

Genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) is among the greatest challenges for maize
breeding programs. Strong GEI limits both the prediction of genotype performance across …

Improving water use efficiency (WUE) for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] through selection
for high carbon isotope (C13) ratio may increase drought tolerance, but increased WUE may …
