Agricultural and Biological Sciences Top 5 Trending Papers for December 2018

During December we analysed millions of academic papers in Agricultural and Biological Sciences to discover the top 5 articles being read by Mendeley users in the Agricultural and Biological Sciences discipline. We believe these papers will have an impact on the influential academic papers of tomorrow.

Mendeley Trending considers the number of people reading a specific paper, the change in number of new readers within a timeframe and how recently the paper was published.

Some of these papers can be viewed on the Mendeley Web Catalog page, and to access others you may need to click on ‘Get full text’ to view it on the publisher’s site.

  • Topics in this list: Phenotyping, Warming and Biodiversity, Pd-1, Habitat Fragmentation, Temperature Extremes

A) Translating High-Throughput Phenotyping into Genetic Gain (135 Readers)

Inability to efficiently implement high-throughput field phenotyping is increasingly perceived as a key component that limits genetic gain in breeding programs…
