Abstract. Crop yield is determined by potential harvest organ size, source organ photosynthesis and carbohydrate partitioning. Filling the harvest organ ef

Abstract. Plant growth and development involve the integration of numerous processes, influenced by both endogenous and exogenous factors. At any given tim

Abstract. Ensembles of multiple genomic prediction models have demonstrated improved prediction performance over the individual models contributing to the

Abstract. In this study, the level of Rubisco protein was reduced in wheat using RNAi, to test the hypothesis that photosynthesis, growth, and grain yield

The greenhouse sector is changing rapidly. New cultivation systems, such as single-truss tomatoes, hybrid systems of greenhouses with vertical farms, and semi-closed greenhouses, have the potential…

Computational Biologist (m/f/d) - Genome Editing Trait Discovery

Abstract. This paper explores the application of data-driven system identification techniques in the frequency domain to obtain simplified, control-oriente

Abstract. Rare genetic variants play a pivotal role in shaping the genetic architecture of complex traits, yet their identification and characterization re

Increase the visibility of your research by submitting to one of our calls for papers listed below. Submissions to open calls are made via our regular submissi

Abstract. We aimed to (i) develop a new computational functional–structural plant root model (FSPM) able to represent a wide range of realistic root system

Botany One interviews Larissa Verona, an ecosystem ecologist exploring how Cerrado wetlands connect vegetation, water and the global carbon cycle.

Abstract. In this work, we couple the functional–structural plant model CPlantBox to the Unreal Engine by exploiting the implemented raytracing pipeline to

Photosynthesis hidden in hornworts, who works to sustain the Amazon rainforest and why plants aren't passive.

Abstract. Process-based biophysical models are essential for understanding and predicting plant responses to environment, yet their development and applica

Abstract. Stomata regulate gas exchange between plants and the atmosphere, but analysing their morphology is challenging due to anatomical variability and

Abstract. Morphological factors significantly impact maize stalk strength, but no study has fully characterized the impact of maize stalk shape on stalk st

Abstract. The allocation of resources to roots and shoots can greatly alter total plant mass. Allocation is thought to be the consequence of uptake rates,

Abstract. Australian dryland grain production systems are under increasing pressure from climate variability, extremes and market uncertainty, driving the

Abstract. Crop model-aided ideotyping can accelerate the breeding of resilient barley cultivars. Yet, the accuracy of process descriptions in the crop mode

Abstract. Crop yields in intercropping systems are the result of a combination of factors dominated by plastic responses in plant traits due to the heterog

Abstract. Process-based models (PBMs) provide a mechanistic foundation for simulating complex genotype, environment, and management interactions across mul

Canola is Australia’s most valuable oilseed crop, yet its yield potential has plateaued despite decades of breeding and agronomic improvement. This PhD project aims to enhance photosynthesis to improv...
