Advancing crop growth models using genotype-specific parameters

Incorporating genotype-specific parameters and realistic trait physiology will advance crop growth models. Plant breeders face an urgent mission: of adapting crops to climate change and feeding an increased world population. Crop models can help breeders select cultivars and cultivar traits for different target environments. For instance, models can be used to evaluate traits (e.g., life […]
