Remote Sensing in Agriculture

Drone imagery from 356 flights in 19 Genomes to Fields maize environments; vegetation-index functional principal components complement genomic kernels, predicting yield of held-out hybrids at r up to 0.501.

Weekly leaf spectra and traits in seven temperate species reveal phenophase-dependent trait correlations; peak-season PLSR models fail at senescence while full-season models track trait dynamics.
