The potential to breed for genetic legacy effects in sustainable farming systems
2025-11-05
Abstract excerpt
Legume crops provide protein-rich food, critical disease breaks in cereal rotations, and contribute to soil fertility through symbiotic nitrogen fixation. However, crop improvement programs typically focus on within-crop performance rather than system-level benefits. We hypothesise that legacy effects (the influence of one crop’s genotype on subsequent crop performance) are under genetic control and could be lever...
