Sparing land for nature: exploring the potential impact of changes in agricultural yield on the area needed for crop production (2005, background): “…that without the yield increases which they achieved over the past 40 years, India would require twice and China and USA three times today’s area of cropland in order to meet current demands (Borlaug, 2002; see also Goklany & Sprague, 1992; Waggoner, 1995; Waggoner et al., 1996; Goklany, 1998).”
Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Willd.: a multipurpose fruit tree (2008, background): “Out of the 7,000 cultivated plant species worldwide (Hammer and Khoshbakht 2005; Raman 2006), food security has become increasingly dependent on a small number of crops (Altieri 1999; Borlaug 2002 ).”
Modern Biotechnology as an Integral Supplement to Conventional Plant Breeding: The Prospects and Challenges (2006, background): “Breakthroughs in wheat and rice yields were achieved with the development of semidwarf varieties characterized by lodging resistance and N responsiveness (Swaminathan, 1993; Borlaug, 1998; Khush, 1999, 2001).”
Genetic transformation technology: Status and problems (2005, background): “Hence, new biotechniques, in addition to conventional plant breeding, are needed to boost the yield of crops that feed the world (Borlaug, 1997).”
Unprotecting the rare species: a niche‐based gap analysis for odonates in a core Cerrado area (2011, background): “This biome was recently described as the last agriculture frontier of the world (Borlaug, 2002), and it is experiencing serious pressure because of the rapid conversion of land to food croplands, extensive cattle raising and, most recently, the implantation of biofuel croplands (sugarcane and…”
Quantitative and qualitative phenotyping of disease resistance of crops by hyperspectral sensors: seamless interlocking of phytopathology, sensors, and machine learning is needed! (2019, background): “Continuous research is necessary to increase the genetic resistance pool of crop plants without compromising yield or quality parameters [5].”
