Genetic legacy effects in a mungbean-wheat rotation reveal potential to breed for system-level yield gains.
Legume crops provide protein-rich food, critical disease breaks in cereal rotations, and contribute to soil fertility through symbiotic nitrogen fixation. However, crop improvement programs typically focus on within-crop performance rather than system-level benefits. We hypothesise that legacy effects (the influence of...
