    Defining and designing plant architectural ideotypes to control epidemics?

    Ideotypes are a popular concept for plant breeders, who designate as such the ideal combinations of traits in a particular genotype to reach a pre-set production objective within a given socio-economic context...

    Crop architecture and crop tolerance to fungal diseases and insect herbivory. Mechanisms to limit crop losses

    Plant tolerance to biotic stresses (mostly limited here to fungal pathogens and insects) is the ability of a plant to maintain performance in the presence of expressed disease or insect herbivory. It differs f...

    A simplified conceptual model of carbon/nitrogen functioning for QTL analysis of winter wheat adaptation to nitrogen deficiency

    Breeding new varieties adapted to low-input agricultural practices is of particular interest in light of current economical and environmental concerns. Improving nitrogen (N) uptake and N utilization efficienc...

    Grain Legumes

    Previous chapters have described the general pattern of plant N% decrease with biomass accumulation in certain crops. In contrast to these crops, grain legumes have specific traits that could modify this patte...

    Reproductive physiology as a constraint to seed production in cool season food legumes

    Seed legumes are famous for yield instability and related high flower and pod shedding rates. The reproductive physiology post-pollination is considered in this paper.

    Plant symbiotic mutants as a tool to analyse nitrogen nutrition and yield relationship in field-growth peas (Pisum sativum L.)

    Pisum sativum L. is known for high seed and protein yields but also for.yield instability. Because legumes utilize two sources of nitrogen (atmospheric N2 fixed in nodules and assimilation of soil mineral N), st...
