Cultivar mixtures stabilize wheat baking quality rather than improve it Open
Integrating diversity into agricultural systems represent a promising way to increase the resilience of crop production. In particular, cultivar mixtures are gaining attention in Europe because they are a practical way to stabilize wheat y…

The plant-time-bender model: predicting yield through wheat’s perception of time Open
To address challenges in food security, a better understanding of crop performance under varying environmental conditions is required. Plant Time Bender (PTB) is a deep learning model that integrates high-throughput field phenotyping data …

Plasticity in ear density drives complementarity effects and yield benefits in wheat variety mixtures Open
Variety mixtures represent a promising option to sustainably increase the productivity of grain cropping systems, but the underlying processes driving potential yield benefits remain poorly understood. Notably, the role of variety-specific…

Multi trait assessment of wheat variety mixtures performance and stability: mixtures for the win! Open
In the current quest for a more sustainable, environment-friendly agriculture, variety mixtures are often suggested as a practical option to increase the stability of food production systems. Their effects on yield have been extensively re…

Image-based phenomic prediction can provide valuable decision support in wheat breeding Open
Key message Genotype-by-environment interactions of secondary traits based on high-throughput field phenotyping are less complex than those of target traits, allowing for a phenomic selection in unreplicated early generation trials. Abstra…

Image-based phenomic prediction can provide valuable decision support in wheat breeding Open
Traditionally, breeders’ selection decisions in early generations are largely based on visual observations in the field. With the advent of affordable genome sequencing and high-throughput phenotyping technologies, enhancing breeders’ rati…

Lessons From 20 Years of Studies of Wheat Genotypes in Multiple Environments and Under Contrasting Production Systems Open
Identifying opportunities and limitations for closing yield gaps is essential for setting right the efforts dedicated to improve germplasm and agronomic practices. This study analyses genotypes × environments interaction (G × E), genetic p…

Long-term effects of crop succession, soil tillage and climate on wheat yield and soil properties Open
Climate change is increasing crop losses and yield variability with impacts for global food security. In this context, conservation agriculture appears as a potential solution to maintain crop productivity, soil fertility and environmental…

Modern wheat semi-dwarfs root deep on demand: response of rooting depth to drought in a set of Swiss era wheats covering 100 years of breeding Open
Breeding for enhanced rooting depth and root biomass in deeper soil layers is a promising strategy to adapt wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) plants to drought periods. We evaluated (1) the extent of indirect selection of root traits during th…
