The paper connects phenotypic plasticity with factor analytic models to assess yield stability in crops, showing positive correlation with adaptive plasticity and negative with maladaptive.

The paper examines the impact of minimum night temperatures on wheat yield variation globally, finding that Tmin explains 40-52% of yield variation, with a 1°C increase reducing yield by ~0.5 t/ha.

A 1,096-image pixel-labelled wheat organ dataset plus 52,078 unlabelled field images from 11 institutions enables Segformer leaf and spike segmentation near 90% mIoU, while stems lag.

This study quantifies the role of hidden canopy layers in wheat productivity, showing that photosynthetic rates in middle and bottom layers predict grain yield and that optimizing these layers can enhance food security.

The paper maps trehalose biosynthetic pathway genes to yield traits in spring wheat, finding significant associations and heritability contributions.
