Smart tools for Prediction and Improvement of Crop Yield (SPICY)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
"The aim of this project is to develop a suite of tools for molecular breeding of crop plants for sustainable and competitive agriculture. The tools help the breeder in predicting phenotypic response of genotypes for complex traits under a range of environmental conditions. Pepper will be used as a model crop. The idea is to use a crop growth model as a tool to predict the phenotypic response of a ...
