[EN] Robustness has become a highly desirable breeding goal in the globalized agricultural market. Both genotype-by-environment interaction (G x E) and micro-environmental sensitivity are important robustness components ...
Models for the control of above-ground plant architectures show how meristems can be programmed to be either
shoots or flowers. Molecular, genetic, transgenic, and mathematical studies have greatly refined these models, ...
