Linguistic Justice in World Englishes: A View From Cultural Appropriation

Drone‐based phenotyping of maize for multiple disease resistance and yield in breeding field trials

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Improving selection for multiple disease resistance (MDR) and yield in maize (Zea mays L.) requires high‐throughput, objective phenotyping tools, particularly under field conditions where several foliar diseases co‐occur. We evaluated drone‐based multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB ...
