Abstract
Phenomic and genomic approaches are required to evaluate the progress of breeding strategies. Here, the authors analyse 65 years of genetic progress in maize, showing that breeders have selected traits with stable effects on yield whereas not for adaptive traits key for climate change adaptation.
