Bernardo, Fehr, Acquaah, Falconer, Allard, BD Singh... Plant breeding literature abounds and I found it hard to make a choice for this summer's readings. I have asked my agronomist colleagues: got some ideas, still not much inspired... Then we've asked our LinkedIn community and Wow! more than 150 plant breeders from all over the world have suggested their own favorite readings - If you've replied, thanks a lot! Then if you're still looking for what to read before your holiday siestas, check our review about the 10 most useful plant breeding books.

Artificial intelligence changes the game in agriculture research: A neural network can tell whether a plot is “Well” or “less” adapted to a breeding objective. And it guesses an expert’s analysis with 95% accuracy! Learn how the AI researcher Rony Charles has trained the model on a huge dataset of phenomics, soil and weather data from a multi-environment Hybrid Corn trial.

Did you know Bumblebees 🐝 detect the chemical signature of stress tolerant plants 💪🌱? What a windfall for sustainable agriculture: Pollinators can help select varieties adapted to low input farming, and create crops that produce more with less! I’m not saying it’s easy to count how many times a plant gets her flowers visited – far from easy in fact 😅 That’s why European experts (European Innovation Council EIC) founded the collaborative project DARkWIN, started in 2023 for 3,5 years.

What makes all the actors of a research department work efficiently together? How breeders, biotechnicians and field testers share data and collaborate? Nowadays, IT systems connect people together and help them share data in real time. Many strategies can enhance interactions within the R&D team, on top of them making the research software evolve to that end. But such a change involves human, technical and financial investments at the start, plus future maintenance costs. How to benefit from the return on investment of a cross-funtional Information System ?
