Crop yield plant breeding
Breeding crop plants with increased yield potential and improved tolerance to stressful environments is critical for global food security. Drought stress (DS) adversely affects agricultural...
Climate change affects global agricultural production and threatens food security. Faster phenological development of crops due to climate warming is one of the main drivers for potential...
Sorghum (sorghum bicolor) is widely cultivated across West Africa, in a broad range of agro-ecological conditions and contrasting production objectives of individual farmers, women and men. These...
Highlights:
Predicting performance of hybrids prior to field evaluation is a challenging problem.
We developed machine learning models to estimate performance of untested hybrids.
The...
The global population continues to rise, as does the likelihood of reduced yields of major food crops due to the changing climate, thus making the development of genetically improved, stress-resilient...
Rice production and research have met unprecedented challenges in recent years. Yield and total production have plateaued for many years in some major producing rice-producing...
Sorghum is a climate-resilient cereal and staple food crop for more than 200 million people in arid and semi-arid countries of Asia and Africa. Despite the economic importance, the productivity of sorghum...
The development of agroecosystems that can provide multiple ecosystem services with a reduced need of external inputs, requires management practices that foster ecological processes to enhance soil quality...
Faced with climate change and having to keep pace in the race to feed the world’s growing population, farmers of staple crops like wheat are under pressure to constantly increase...
