NGS-based genotyping, high-throughput phenotyping and genome-wide association studies laid the foundations for next-generation breeding in horticultural crops [PDF]
, 2017 Demographic trends and changes to climate require a more efficient use of plant genetic resources in breeding programs. Indeed, the release of high-yielding varieties has resulted in crop genetic erosion and loss of diversity.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agricultural sustainability faces serious challenges from population growth, climate change and ecological degradation. Genetic modification (GM) technology can be regarded as a precise extension of the Green Revolution, aiming to balance yield enhancement with ecological integrity through biotechnology. To systematically examine global trend,

Drought Stress Classification using 3D Plant Models
, 2017 Quantification of physiological changes in plants can capture different drought mechanisms and assist in selection of tolerant varieties in a high throughput manner. In this context, an accurate 3D model of plant canopy provides a reliable representation

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Quinoa is a grain crop with excellent nutritional properties that has attracted global attention for its potential contribution to future food security in a changing climate. Despite its long history of cultivation, quinoa has been improved little by modern breeding and is a niche crop outside its native cultivation area.

PHENOME: French Plant Phenomic Center
, 2015 Climate change causes an increased frequency of unfavourable environmental scenarios with abiotic and biotic stresses, requiring the development of novel adapted varieties. Phenotyping is the major limitation for selecting genotypes in this context.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

A Short Review on the Development of Salt Tolerant Cultivars in Rice [PDF]
, 2016 Rice is staple food for half of the world. With a population of almost 9.6 billion by the year 2050, there is a dire need of developing techniques to improve the crop plants, not only in terms of better yield but also to withstand harsh environmental ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Genomic prediction (GP) can increase genetic gain by allowing for the selection of traits earlier in the breeding cycle. Spike morphology traits are of interest because of their relationship with grain yield. To better understand the prediction capabilities of agronomic traits and spike architecture traits, a population of 594 soft red winter ...

Plant architectural and genetic diversities in Coffea native from Madagascar : Towards an architectural-functional plant growth model applied to Coffea biodiversity perservation [PDF]
, 2011 The Coffea genus includes 103 species with 53 endemic to Madagascar (namely Mascarocoffea).The three main centres of species diversity for coffee trees are Madagascar (naturally low-caffeine species), Cameroon and Tanzania.
