| In the future, more food needs to be produced with increasingly scarce natural resources. Genomics can play a key role in accelerating yield gains because it helps to improve our understanding of genetic traits and assists in breeding for better crop performance. The scientific muscle of genomics attracted tremendous research investments, but the efficiency with which these investments are paying off is still low. How can we accelerate the application of molecular genetics to our understanding of crop physiology and subsequently to crop improvement? The missing link is a more detailed understanding of the effects of gene function on crop performance at field level under agronomically relevant conditions captured in robust, physiology-based mechanistic... |

| Arabidopsis thaliana natural accessions have been collected in the Northern hemisphere in a wide range of habitats, with a specific environment in each habitat, suggesting that selection for adaptation to these local environments occurred and provided genetic variation of responses to environmental factors. Plant performance traits are complex traits and are fluctuating under contrasted environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, day length, nutrient nutrition, drought). The genetic architecture of such traits and of their responses to environmental conditions could be analysed by detecting QTL (Quantitative Traits Loci). Accessions from contrasted geographical regions have been used to detect such QTL. QTL analysis and subsequent QTL cloning of genetic... |
