    Abstract

    Selection on the basis of physiological traits is hedged with obstacles in conventional breeding programmes" it is a little-explored concept. However, in this issue of Journal of Experimental Botany (pages 861-872), Jackson et al. present research in which the broad-sense heritability of leaf- and crop-level transpiration efficiency was tested within the framework of Australia's main sugarcane breeding programme.
