Increasing plant group productivity through latent genetic variation for cooperation
2019-05-19
Abstract excerpt
Historic yield advances in the major crops have to a large part been achieved by selection for improved productivity of groups of plant individuals such as high-density stands. Research suggests that such improved group productivity depends on “cooperative” traits (e.g. erect leaves, short stems) that – while beneficial to the group – decrease individual fitness under competition. This poses a problem for some tra...
