TLDR
Stability analyses were performed on a number of high-yielding maize hybrids, including three hybrids that have been involved in some of the highest maize yields recorded in producers’ fields, to examine the relationship between yield and yield stability.About:

Biomass as Feedstock for A Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry: The Technical Feasibility of a Billion-Ton Annual Supply
Robert D. Perlack,Lynn L. Wright,Anthony F Turhollow Jr,Robin L. Graham,Bryce J. Stokes,Donald C Erbach +5 more
TL;DR: The U.S. Department of Energy and the United States Department of Agriculture have both strongly committed to expanding the role of biomass as an energy source as mentioned in this paper, and they support biomass fuels and products as a way to reduce the need for oil and gas imports; to support the growth of agriculture, forestry, and rural economies; and to foster major new domestic industries making a variety of fuels, chemicals, and other products.

Drought tolerance improvement in crop plants: An integrated view from breeding to genomics
Luigi Cattivelli,Fulvia Rizza,Franz-W. Badeck,Elisabetta Mazzucotelli,Anna M. Mastrangelo,Enrico Francia,Caterina Marè,Alessandro Tondelli,A. Michele Stanca +8 more
TL;DR: Breeders are asked to blend together all knowledge on the traits sustaining yield under drought and to accumulate the most effective QTLs and/or transgenes into elite genotypes without detrimental effects on yield potential, which will lead to new cultivars with high yield potential and high yield stability, that will result in superior performance in dry environments.

Roots of the Second Green Revolution
TL;DR: Crop genotypes with greater yield in infertile soils will substantially improve the productivity and sustainability of low-input agroecosystems, and in high-input agricultural systems will reduce the environmental impacts of intensive fertilisation.

Development of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) as a bioenergy feedstock in the United States.
S.B. McLaughlin,L.A. Kszos +1 more
TL;DR: A 10-year US Department of Energy sponsored research program designed to evaluate and develop switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum ), a native perennial warm-season grass, as a dedicated energy crop is reviewed in this paper.

Greater sensitivity to drought accompanies maize yield increase in the U.S. Midwest
David B. Lobell,Michael J. Roberts,Wolfram Schlenker,Noah Braun,Bertis B. Little,Roderick M. Rejesus,Graeme Hammer +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that agronomic changes tend to translate improved drought tolerance of plants to higher average yields but not to decreasing drought sensitivity of yields at the field scale, which is a key question for climate change adaptation.

Yield potential: its definition, measurement, and significance
L. T. Evans,R. A. Fischer +1 more
TL;DR: The rise in genetic yield potential in wheat and maize cultivars has been associated with progressive widening of their genetic background, and there is little sign of this slowing down.

Yield Improvement in Temperate Maize is Attributable to Greater Stress Tolerance
Matthijs Tollenaar,J. Wu +1 more
TL;DR: Results of the studies indicate that increased stress tolerance is associated with lower plant-to- plant variability and that increased plant- to-plant variability results in lower stress tolerance.
