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

Philosophy of phenomic prediction and its incompatibility with causal inference
Abstract Breeding programs need to make decisions frequently to improve populations and develop varieties efficiently. These needs led to the development of genomic prediction in the early 2000s and phenomic prediction in the mid‐2010s. In practice, phenomic prediction techniques rely on the same statistical tools and computational frameworks as other ...

Smartphone‐based proximal sensing as an accessible platform for improved physiological phenotyping
Abstract We tested whether smartphone‐based sensing could deliver accurate physiological traits in an accessible and low‐cost platform. A smartphone, carried by someone walking through a field, was used to generate a high‐resolution time series of images for 10 genotypes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.).

Abstract Complex agronomic traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.) are controlled by many genetic loci; however, dissection is often constrained in biparental mapping populations by limited recombination and narrow genetic diversity, and in diversity sets by spurious associations arising from cryptic relatedness.

Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ∼80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's complex polyploid genome and long breeding cycles, which limit the efficiency of traditional selection methods.

Abstract Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae (syn. Pyricularia oryzae), remains a major disease in US rice (Oryza sativa L.) production, highlighting the need for additional resistance loci and continued development of blast‐resistant rice varieties. We evaluated 258 US elite long‐grain breeding lines for resistance to four M.
