ALT Types of Plant Breeding Paper A 3 by 4 grid of 12 different cartoon scientific paper title pages with various titles: Drones can take photos that tell us stuff about plants. Our new model for genomic selection increases accuracy by 0.02. We report some novel QTL for a somewhat interesting trait. How about we reuse these old datasets for this new analysis? This experiment had been done in wheat, so we did the same experiment in rice and spinach. We characterized genetic variation in bad germplasm. Growing real plants is too hard so I ran a simulation in Fortran instead. Genomic selection works for this trait in this crop grown in these environments. We learned that we can use machine learning. This newest ‘omics thingamajig will revolutionize plant breeding. It used to be called stress tolerance but funding agencies like “resilience to climate change”. Transgenics is so 90’s; we now have CRISPR.
