Climate change and crop resilience: harnessing metabolomics for predicting stress tolerance
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summarised methodology for metabolite biomarker discovery and genomic targets selection for those metabolites to predict high‐throughput phenotypic and agronomic traits of interest for direct uptake in breeding programmes. Summary Global warming is driving climate change to levels not experienced since the advent of agriculture, primarily due to ...

Vegetation growth conditions strongly indicate coffee flowering anomalies
Abstract Quantifying the timing of vegetation growth, particularly coffee plant flowering, is vital for estimating yield in advance. While satellite-based vegetation indices are effective in mapping crop growth and have a strong correlation with coffee yield, the potential contribution of plant conditions alongside climate factors in predicting

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Enhancing nutritional quality of oilseed rape requires deeper insight into the genetic control of seed quality traits. This study analysed the effect of varying soil phosphorus (P) levels on seed quality traits in the hybrid cultivar Architect. NIRS and laboratory methods were used to quantify total seed P and phytic acid (IP6) content.
