Session Description: The goal of this symposium is to highlight recent advances in the discovery of QTL that can improve crop resilience. There are recent examples of such QTL being used to breed resilient crop plants for current and future cropping systems. These include a unique collaboration among geneticists, plant physiologists, remote sensing experts, and plant breeders.
