Drones proven to aid plant breeding in identifying valuable new crop traits

New research from crop research organisation NIAB and partners in China has, for the first time, linked drone-based, multi-season aerial plant phenotyping with dynamics of agronomic performance that associates with reliable DNA markers This will make it easier for crop breeders and researchers to select plants, or discover genes, based on marker patterns (genotypes) and … Continue reading Drones proven to aid plant breeding in identifying valuable new crop traits
