Pat Heslop-Harrison (with collaborators listed below) examines why it’s not just humans that need better crops.
Integrated approach to maximize trait selection
There were many great articles concerning cross-disciplinary research at the interface between plant biology, mathematics and computer science before the launch in silico Plants (isP). We are excited for isP to be home to these types of articles in the future.
Good news for plant scientists who feel the need for speed
How fast does wheat need to be? You might look for taste and texture in a loaf, but why would anyone care about speed?
