Crop yields need to be improved in a sustainable manner to meet the expected worldwide
increase in population over the coming decades as well as the effects of anticipated climate …

Phenotyping plays an important role in crop science research; the accurate and rapid
acquisition of phenotypic information of plants or cells in different environments is helpful for …

Wheat improvement programs require rapid assessment of large numbers of individual plots
across multiple environments. Vegetation indices (VIs) that are mainly associated with yield …

The expansion of the earth's population has led to the overuse of land and water resources,
which has ultimately resulted in their scarcity. Changing climatic conditions and erratic …

Chlorophyll fluorescence is a non-invasive measurement of photosystem II (PSII) activity and
is a commonly used technique in plant physiology. The sensitivity of PSII activity to abiotic …

There is a growing need to increase global crop yields, whilst minimising use of resources
such as land, fertilisers and water. Agricultural researchers use ground-based observations …

Crop improvement efforts are targeting increased above-ground biomass and radiation-use
efficiency as drivers for greater yield. Early ground cover and canopy height contribute to …

Remote sensing (RS) of plant canopies permits non-intrusive, high-throughput monitoring of
plant physiological characteristics. This study compared three RS approaches using a low …

The achievements made in genomic technology in recent decades are yet to be matched by
fast and accurate crop phenotyping methods. Such crop phenotyping methods are required …

Key message Through genome-wide association study, loci for grain yield and yield
components were identified in chromosomes 5A and 6A in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) …
