Translating High-Throughput Phenotyping into Genetic Gain (2018, background): “Genetic gains achieved during the last few decades through conventional breeding have been, in part, associated with an expansion of phenotyping networks [20,61,62].”
Industry-Scale Evaluation of Maize Hybrids Selected for Increased Yield in Drought-Stress Conditions of the US Corn Belt (2015, methodology): “However, a study conducted in managed environments where soil moisture measurements were collected down to a depth of 3.2 m demonstrated no differences in total water uptake between an AQUAmax hybrid and a nonAQUAmax commercial check hybrid (Cooper et al., 2014a).”
Accelerating Genetic Gain in Sugarcane Breeding Using Genomic Selection (2020, methodology): “This practice is widely used in modern maize breeding [125].”
