In most crop breeding programs, the rate of yield increment is insufficient to cope with the
increased food demand caused by a rapidly expanding global population. In plant breeding …

During the last years, a great effort has been dedicated at the development and employment
of diverse approaches for achieving more stress‐tolerant and climate‐flexible crops and …

Phenotyping involves the quantitative assessment of the anatomical, biochemical, and
physiological plant traits. Natural plant growth cycles can be extremely slow, hindering the …

High-throughput phenotyping (HTP) platforms are capable of monitoring the phenotypic
variation of plants through multiple types of sensors, such as red green and blue (RGB) …

Global agricultural production must double by 2050 to meet the demands of an increasing
world human population but this challenge is further exacerbated by climate change …

Drought stress imposes a major constraint over a crop yield and can be expected to grow in
importance if the climate change predicted comes about. Improved methods are needed to …

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot dry summers and frequent droughts.
Mediterranean crops are frequently subjected to high evapotranspiration demands, soil …

Plant phenomics is becoming a common tool employed to characterize the mode of action of
biostimulants. A combination of this technique with other omics such as metabolomics can …

Food security for the growing global population is a major concern. The data provided by
genomic tools far exceeds the supply of phenotypic data, creating a knowledge gap. To …

Commercial interest in biostimulants as a tool for sustainable green economics and
agriculture concepts is on a steep rise, being followed by increasing demand to employ …
