Functional markers (FMs) are supposed to assist in diagnosis, disease treatment and turning plant and animal breeding more efficient. However, efficient FM application is challenged through current insights in the multi-organism nature of life. This letter aims to raise awareness for re-thinking concepts for FM development in plant breeding and proposes a novel perspective.
Efficient plant breeding methods must be developed in order to increase yields and feed a growing world population, as well as to meet the demands of consumers with diverse preferences who require high-quality foods. We propose a strategy that integrates breeding simulations and phenotype prediction models using genomic information. The validity of this strategy was evaluated by the simultaneou...
This article presents a holistic framework for understanding the science of plant breeding, as an alternative to the common objectivist and constructivist approaches in studies of science. It applies this approach to understanding disagreements about how to deal with yield stability. Two contrasting definitions of yield stability are described, and concomitant differences in the understanding a...
Luther Burbank (1849–1926), the best-known horticulturist in the United States, was honored in 1940 by having a U.S. postage stamp in his honor—as a scientist! Burbank became a legend in his time as the plant inventor and horticultural wizard releasing a prodigious 800 new cultivars, a number of which are still being grown, the most famous being the ‘Burbank’ potato, the ‘Santa Rosa’ plum, and ...
This study examined the gender-differentiated trait preferences of cooking banana (matooke) for farmers and consumers in Central Uganda to inform banana-breeding strategies. Women men might have differing production objectives, norms, values which drive decisions on varieties adopt grow. However, breeders rarely consider this their variety development programs, leading lost opportunities equita...
Roots are crucial for nutrient and water acquisition and can be targeted to enhance plant productivity under a broad range of growing conditions. A current challenge for plant breeding is the limited ability to phenotype and select for desirable root characteristics due to their underground location. Plant breeding efforts aimed at modifying root traits can result in novel, more stress-tolerant...
Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important crop plant similar to wheat and rice. Barley is a great source of food for human, and it is also used for feeding livestock. The ultimate goal of barley breeding programs is to increase production efficiency and stability on farmers' farms, which is made possible by replacing more productive cultivars wi...
