Abstract

Predictions warn that food production must double by 2050 to meet the needs of predicted population growth (Figure 1) (Tilman et al. 2011). While food crop yields have increased due to breeding for increased harvest index (proportion of biomass that is grain), they are now plateauing (Parry et al. 2011). In addition to better agronomic practices, genetic improvements are needed to increase crop biomass, and therefore yield (Leegood et al. 2010).
