Glossar
- Physiological breeding crosses parents with different complex but complementary traits to achieve cumulative gene action for yield, while selecting progeny using remote sensing, possibly in combination with genomic selection (external page Reynolds and Langridge, 2016)
- Phenomics relates to high-dimensional observable characteristics of an organism (external page Houle et al., 2010)
- Ideotpye selection: 1) Analytical or physiological trait-based approach selecting directly for an ideotype, rather than grain yield (Original definition by Donald (external page 1968)) 2) Combination of morphological and physiological traits (or their genetic bases) conferring to a crop a satisfying adaptation to a particular biophysical environment, crop management, and end use (external page Martre et al., 2015)
- Drought resistance involves four major mechanisms: drought avoidance (DA) (or ‘‘shoot dehydration avoidance’’ in some literature), drought tolerance (DT), drought escape (DE), and drought recovery (summarized by external page Fang and Xiong 2015)
- Stay-green is the prolonged post-anthesis maintenance of green leaf area (external page Thomas and Smart, 1993)
- Canopy Temperature Depression as measured by thermal imaging is the difference in temperature between the canopy surface and the surrounding air (external page Tuberosa, 2012)
- Opportunistic phenotyping takes advantage of continuous phenotyping to evaluate genotype-specific changes from the reaction norm in relation to an extreme event, i.e. frost, heat, drought, diseases or pests (external page Hund et al. 2019)
