Harness the power of genomic selection and the potential of germplasm in crop breeding for global food security in the era with rapid climate change
Crop genetic improvements catalysed population growth, which in turn has increased the pressure for food security. We need to produce 70% more food to meet the demands of 9.5 billion people by 2050. Climate changes have posed challenges for global food supply, while the narrow genetic base of elite...
