Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Inability to efficiently implement high-throughput field phenoty** is increasingly perceived
as a key component that limits genetic gain in breeding programs. Field phenoty** must …

Major improvements in crop yield are needed to keep pace with population growth and
climate change. While plant breeding efforts have greatly benefited from advances in …

Drought tolerance involves mechanisms operating at different spatial and temporal scales,
from rapid stomatal closure to maintenance of crop yield. We review how short-term …

Abstract For more than 10,000 years, the selection of plant and animal traits that are better
tailored for human use has shaped the development of civilizations. During this period …

The development of germplasm adapted to changing climate is required to ensure food
security,. Genomic prediction is a powerful tool to evaluate many genotypes but performs …

Because of intense transpiration and growth, the needs of plants for water can be immense.
Yet water in the soil is most often heterogeneous if not scarce due to more and more …

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

The current pace of crop improvement is inadequate to feed the burgeoning human
population by 2050. Higher, more stable, and sustainable crop production is required …

Plants intricately deploy defense systems to counter diverse biotic and abiotic stresses.
Omics technologies, spanning genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics …
