Comparative study of adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase domains of MuF polymorphic toxins
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.With the ultimate goal of understanding the association of toxin‐immunity modules to temperate phages, we characterized toxins from three prophages and examined cross‐protection from immunity proteins. The toxins exhibit adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase activity and are toxic in Escherichia coli.

A Ground Mobile Robot for Autonomous Terrestrial Laser Scanning-Based Field Phenotyping [PDF]
arXivTraditional field phenotyping methods are often manual, time-consuming, and destructive, posing a challenge for breeding progress. To address this bottleneck, robotics and automation technologies offer efficient sensing tools to monitor field evolution and crop development throughout the season.

PRACTICAL CHALLENGES TO ESTIMATING THE BENEFITS OF AGRICULTURAL R&D: THE CASE OF PLANT BREEDING RESEARCH [PDF]
Interest in the economics of plant breeding first emerged during the late 1960s and early 1970s following the well-known green revolutions in wheat and rice.

Increased genetic diversity improves crop yield stability under climate variability: a computational study on sunflower [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 A crop can be represented as a biotechnical system in which components are either chosen (cultivar, management) or given (soil, climate) and whose combination generates highly variable stress patterns and yield responses. Here, we used modeling and simulation to predict the crop phenotypic plasticity resulting from the interaction of plant traits (G ...

Whole-genome modeling accurately predicts quantitative traits in plants [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Understanding the relationship between genomic variation and variation in phenotypes for quantitative traits such as physiology, yield, fitness or behavior, will provide important insights for both predicting adaptive evolution and for breeding schemes.
