We mourn the passing of our Editor-in-Chief Steve Long. His vision to establish one of the first journals dedicated to Global Change over 30 years ago was truly ahead of its time. Through GCB, researchers have demonstrated that biology & ecosystems are not simply victims of..

New study: Generic model accurately estimates wheat leaf area index (LAI) from UAV multispectral data across diverse soils. Strategies improved existing models, achieving high accuracy for LAI prediction. #AgricultureTech #remotesensing Details: doi.org/10.34133/plant…

UAV-based phenotyping platform accurately measures cotton plant height. Machine learning predictions correlate with manual data (R²=0.934). New gene GhPH_UAV1 identified, boosting crop improvement research. #AgricultureTech #Genetics Details: doi.org/10.1016/j.plap…

2025 Nature Index: Harvard has dropped to No. 2 after the Chinese Academy of Sciences. No. 1 and 3-9 are all Chinese research institutes. Meanwhile, American research institutes are facing a 43% cut in NIH funding and a 50% cut in NSF funding. Please, don’t look up.

Spring wheat vs. winter wheat 🌾 🌾 👀 The phenological plasticity of same wheat genotypes across different sowing dates is truly a marvel to witness. So much to learn from these contrasts! #WheatGenetics #agronomy #cropadaptation #Vernalization #wheat
