Better breeding leveraging more biology.

PubMed · 2026-06-26

Scientists are building smarter crop breeding tools that combine plant biology with predictive models, helping breeders develop crops that perform reliably even as climate patterns grow more erratic and unpredictable.

Climate variability is measurably reducing the ability to predict crop performance across different growing environments, slowing genetic improvement.

Integrating mechanistic plant biology into predictive breeding models improves accuracy, precision, and interpretability of breeding decisions.

Hierarchical genome-to-phenome frameworks offer a path to sustain long-term genetic gain under changing environmental conditions.
