Experimental design and analysis In all experiments, tubers were harvested after plant senescence. For each plant, tuber number and total tuber weight per plant were recorded and average tuber weight (in g/tuber) was calculated. The climate rooms were placed adjacent to each other, and similarly constructed (Green Simplicity).
Abstract There is an ongoing societal debate about plant breeding systems and their impact on stakeholders in food systems. Hybrid breeding and hybrid seed have become controversial topics as they are believed to mostly serve high-tech agricultural systems. This article focuses on the perspective of commercial plant breeders when developing new cultivars of food crops.
Introduction Flowering time in cereal crops is one of the most important determinants of final grain yield. For crops to maximize seed size and number (potential yield), cereals must first establish, develop biomass and then flower at a time that coincides with optimal seasonal conditions (Fischer, 1985; Trethowan, 2014; Sadras and Dreccer, 2015).
