Model-Driven Multidisciplinary Global Research to Meet Future Needs: The Case for “Improving Radiation Use Efficiency to Increase Yield”

Improving wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) yields to meet the projected demand for food in the future requires the talents of diverse scientists. In this article, we present the rationale for crop‐model‐driven, trait‐focused collaborative research emphasizing radiation use efficiency (RUE). Improving RUE is one of the promising avenues to substantially increase potential yields. A collaboration of crop modelers, physiologists, geneticists, plant...
