Crop production systems need to expand their outputs sustainably to feed a burgeoning
human population. Advances in genome sequencing technologies combined with efficient …

In the coming decades, larger genetic gains in yield will be necessary to meet projected
demand, and this must be achieved despite the destabilizing impacts of climate change on …

Simple Summary Feeding our growing population is one of the primary concerns of plant
breeders. Plant breeding needs to deliver a steady stream of modern cultivars in a time-and …

The word phenotyping can nowadays invoke visions of a drone or phenocart moving swiftly
across research plots collecting high-resolution data sets on a wide array of traits. This has …

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 …

Agricultural production faces a Herculean challenge to feed the increasing global
population. Food production systems need to deliver more with finite land and water …

Simple Summary Many crops including wheat have a narrow genetic base after hundreds of
years of breeding and selection. This makes it difficult to breed new varieties with increased …

This perspective describes the opportunities and challenges of data-driven approaches for
crop diversity management (genebanks and breeding) in the context of agricultural research …
