The need to accelerate breeding for increased yield potential and better adaptation to
drought and other abiotic stresses is an issue of increasing urgency. As the population …

Accurate prediction of food crop yield is of great significance for global food security and
regional trade stability. Since remote sensing data collected from unmanned aerial vehicle …

The green area displayed by a crop is a good indicator of its photosynthetic capacity, while
chlorophyll retention or 'stay-green'is regarded as a key indicator of stress adaptation …

Winter wheat is a widely-grown cereal crop worldwide. Using growth-stage information to
estimate winter wheat yields in a timely manner is essential for accurate crop management …

Spectral indices as a selection tool in plant breeding could improve genetic gains for
different important traits. The objectives of this study were to assess the potential of using …

Yield modelling based on visible and near infrared spectral information is extensively used
in proximal and remote sensing for yield prediction of crops. Distance and thermal …

Breeding for improved productivity has been tremendously successful in the last half‐
century, but needs to be even more efficient in the future. Hope based on contributions from …

While genetic resources provide an invaluable gene pool for crop breeding, the majority of
accessions in germplasm collections remain uncharacterized and their potential to improve …
