Drones in the Sky: Towards a More Sustainable Agriculture (2022)
Journal Article

Space farming: Horticulture systems on spacecraft and outlook to planetary space exploration (2022)
Journal Article

Successful human space exploration requires more products than can be taken as payload. There is a need, therefore, for in-space circular manufacturing. Requirements for this include limited resource inflow, from either Earth or other planets and the...

Improving crop yield potential: Underlying biological processes and future prospects (2022)
Journal Article

The growing world population and global increases in the standard of living both result in an increasing demand for food, feed and other plant‐derived products. In the coming years, plant‐based research will be among the major drivers ensuring food s... Read More about Improving crop yield potential: Underlying biological processes and future prospects.

Not all Calvin's are equal: Differential control of the Calvin cycle in C3 versus C4 plants (2022)
Journal Article

Pieces of the 3D puzzle: Identification of genes underlying rice canopy architecture (2022)
Journal Article

Wine without water: Improving grapevine tolerance to drought (2022)
Journal Article

The deployment of intercropping and agroforestry as adaptation to climate change (2022)
Journal Article

Food security is threatened by the combined pressures of increasing populations and climate change. Agricultural land is vulnerable to overexploitation and environmental change. Within this review, we identify the role of multiple cropping systems as... Read More about The deployment of intercropping and agroforestry as adaptation to climate change.

Sunflecks in the upper canopy: dynamics of light-use efficiency in sun and shade leaves of Fagus sylvatica (2022)
Journal Article

Sunflecks are transient patches of direct radiation that provide a substantial proportion of the daily irradiance to leaves in the lower canopy. In this position, faster photosynthetic induction would allow for higher sunfleck-use efficiency, as is c...

A future in 3D: Analyzing morphology in all dimensions (2022)
Journal Article

Casting light on the architecture of crop yield (2022)
Journal Article

Crop canopy architecture is a central component of yield. The arrangement of leaves in three-dimensional space defines the efficiency of absorption of radiation and its conversion into dry matter at the canopy level. The description of architecture i...

Eustress in Space: Opportunities for Plant Stressors Beyond the Earth Ecosystem (2022)
Journal Article

Human space exploration cannot occur without reliable provision of nutritious and palatable food to sustain physical and mental well-being. This ultimately will depend upon efficient production of food in space, with on-site manufacturing on space st...
