Outline

There is a gap between our molecular level understandings of crop responses to environments and the actual crop growth and yield in the field. To bridge the gap and integrate knowledge from different organization scales, we develop a hybrid model which integrates two different scale models: a gene-/omics- based model for crop responses to environments (bottom-up model) and a holistic crop growth and yield simulation model (top-down model). We propose a technology for designing genotypes toward the robustness against environmental changes by multi-year simulation utilizing the hybrid model.
