Breeding climate-resilient crops with improved levels of abiotic and biotic stress resistance
as a response to climate change presents both opportunities and challenges. Applying the …

Over the past century of maize (Zea mays L.) breeding, grain yield progress has been the
result of improvements in several other intrinsic physiological and morphological traits. In …

High-low seedbed cultivation (HLSC) is a key technique now used by smallholder and large
farmers to increase the land utilization rate of wheat production in the North China Plain …

Context Quantifying historical changes in maize harvest index (HI), the fraction of above-
ground biomass allocated to grain yield, can enhance our ability to explain grain yield trends …

Context or problem A range of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrid maturities are planted across the
US Corn Belt, yet, studies that concurrently evaluate genetic gain for grain yield and …

Summary Genotype‐by‐environment‐by‐management (G× E× M) interactions for crop
productivity represent both challenges and opportunities for long‐term crop improvement …

Radiation use efficiency (RUE) is a key crop adaptation trait that quantifies the potential
amount of aboveground biomass produced by the crop per unit of solar energy intercepted …

Plants release back to the atmosphere about half of the CO2 they capture by photosynthesis.
Decreasing the rate of crop respiration could therefore potentially increase yields, store …

Crop yield results from the complex interaction between genotype, management, and
environment. While farmers have control over what genotype to plant and how to manage it …

There is interest in harnessing cropland C storage potential at a large scale to mitigate
climate change and improve land productivity. While the effects of soil management …
