Seedling root traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been shown to be important for
efficient establishment and linked to mature plant traits such as height and yield. A root …

Background Field-based high throughput phenotyping is a bottleneck for crop breeding
research. We present a novel method for repeated remote phenotyping of maize genotypes …

Early vigour is an important physiological trait to improve establishment, water-use
efficiency, and grain yield for wheat. Phenotyping large numbers of lines is challenging due …

Plant vigor is an important trait of field crops at early growth stages, influencing weed
suppression, nutrient and water use efficiency and plant growth. High-throughput techniques …

Strong seedling vigor is desirable trait in dry direct-seeded rice (DSR) for enhancing crop
establishment and the ability to compete against weeds. A set of 253 BC3F4 lines derived …

Herbicide resistance in weeds restricts control options, thereby escalating economic loss
and threatening agricultural sustainability in cereal production. Field evaluation of the crop …

Due to the climate change and an increased frequency of drought, it is of enormous
importance to identify and to develop traits that result in adaptation and in improvement of …

Early vigour of rice, defined as seedling capacity to accumulate shoot dry weight (SDW)
rapidly, is a complex trait. It depends on a genotype propensity to assimilate, store, and/or …

The interaction of elevated [CO2] and water stress will have an effect on the adaptation of
durum wheat to future climate scenarios. For the Mediterranean basin these scenarios …

In response to the escalating challenges posed by unpredictable environmental conditions,
the pursuit of early maturation in bread wheat has emerged as a paramount research …
