About
Laurence Moreau is a leading researcher in quantitative genetics and plant breeding, with a focus on leveraging high-throughput phenotyping and genomic prediction to enhance crop resilience. Her key research areas include the genetic dissection of complex adaptive traits, such as plant architecture, stomatal conductance, and growth dynamics, which are critical for breeding crops that can withstand climate change. A major contribution is her work demonstrating that robotized indoor phenotyping can effectively predict adaptive traits in the field, bridging the gap between controlled environments and real-world agricultural conditions. This approach enables speed breeding by allowing high-throughput measurement of traits beyond yield, such as those related to water use efficiency and stress tolerance. Her most-cited paper, "Robotized indoor phenotyping allows genomic prediction of adaptive traits in the field" (2023, 21 citations), exemplifies this innovation, showing how indoor phenotyping can accelerate genomic selection for field performance. Moreau’s research has significant implications for sustainable agriculture, offering tools to breed crops better adapted to changing environments, and her work is widely recognized for its practical impact on breeding programs.
