Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: This presentation covers 4 subjects of general interest to sunflower breeders as they utilize genomics and phenomics technologies to improve genetic gain. Topics include salinity tolerance, rhizosphere microbiomes and biotic stress, and developing new or better phenotypes by leveraging high throughput phenotyping technologies. The challenge for sunflower breeders will be to use these tools to optimize trait correlations and trade-offs, make better choices in selection and parent choice, and to deal with data conservation and use issues in a "big data" future.
