Since whole-genome sequencing of many crops has been achieved, crop functional
genomics studies have stepped into the big-data and high-throughput era. However …

Crop improvements can help us to meet the challenge of feeding a population of 10 billion,
but can we breed better varieties fast enough? Technologies such as genotyping, marker …

Nanobiotechnology has the potential to enable smart plant sensors that communicate with
and actuate electronic devices for improving plant productivity, optimize and automate water …

Despite the numerous advances made in our understanding of the physiology and
molecular genetics of salinity tolerance, there have been relatively few applications of these …

With the rapid development of genetic analysis techniques and crop population size,
phenotyping has become the bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Breaking through this …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses which impose constraints to plant growth and
production. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple food crops and a model …

Improper use of water resources in irrigation that contain a significant amount of salts, faulty
agronomic practices such as improper fertilization, climate change etc. are gradually …

During the last decade, there has been rapid adoption of ground and aerial platforms with
multiple sensors for phenotyping various biotic and abiotic stresses throughout the …

Simple Summary Feeding our growing population is one of the primary concerns of plant
breeders. Plant breeding needs to deliver a steady stream of modern cultivars in a time-and …

Rice is a staple crop for half the world's population, which is expected to grow by 3 billion
over the next 30 years. It is also a key model for studying the genomics of agroecosystems …
