Abstract Accelerating genetic gain in intercrop forage breeding requires scalable phenotyping approaches that can capture both yield and quality variation across complex genotype combinations. This study evaluated the use of uncrewed aerial system (UAS)‐derived multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting forage yield and nutritive quality in ...

Application of Omics Technologies for Cowpea Improvement
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a vital crop for food security, nutrition, and climate resilience in sub‐Saharan African and other semi‐arid regions. However, its improvement is constrained by the complexity of polygenic traits such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, and seed quality.

FieldDino: Rapid In‐Field Stomatal Anatomy and Physiology Phenotyping
ABSTRACT Stomatal anatomy and physiology define CO2 availability for photosynthesis and regulate plant water use. Despite being key drivers of yield and dynamic responsiveness to abiotic stresses, conventional measurement techniques of stomatal traits are laborious and slow, limiting adoption in plant breeding.

In this study, we fabricate photovoltaic retinal implants with pyrolytic carbon electrodes and test their ability to stimulate mouse and pig retinas when illuminated with near‐infrared light. We find increased spiking activity in both animal models compared to spontaneous activity and TTX controls and analyze the spike amplitude, latency and frequency.

The Spatiotemporal Genetic Architecture of Seed Vigor in Upland Cotton
Leveraging the semi‐automated SeedRanger platform, we profiled the germination kinetics of 356 cotton accessions at a 30‐min interval. This high‐throughput phenomic approach delineated a temporal genetic network comprising 541 stage‐specific loci. Crucially, functional validation identified FLA2 as a pivotal, auxin‐modulated regulator that orchestrates

Abstract Soybean (Glycine max) seed yield and quality are strongly affected by drought, particularly during reproductive stages. We evaluated 22 genotypes under irrigated and rainfed conditions across three Missouri environments (2023–2024) for seed yield, 100 seed weight, protein, oil, and five fatty acids. Mixed models were used to partition genotype,

Abstract Climate change is exerting profound and multidimensional pressures on global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Rising temperatures, higher vapor pressure deficit, and more frequent heatwaves reduce yields through strong, phenology‐dependent effects, with flowering and grain filling identified as the most vulnerable stages. Compound heat–

Abstract Global agricultural systems are increasingly threatened by abiotic and biotic stresses, including drought, heat, salinity, flooding, pathogens, insect pests, and weeds, all of which substantially reduce crop productivity and yield stability.
