abstract = {Mission-oriented governance of research focuses on
inspirational, yet attainable goals and targets the
sustainable development goals through innovation pathways.
We disentangle its implications for plant breeding research
and thus impacting the sustainability transformation of
agricultural systems, as it requires improved crop varieties
and management practices. Speedy success in plant breeding
is vital to lower the use of chemical fertilizers and
pesticides, increase crop resilience to climate stresses and
reduce postharvest losses. A key question is how this
success may come about? So far plant breeding research has
ignored wider social systems feedbacks, but governance also
failed to deliver a set of systemic breeding goals providing
directionality and organization to research policy of the
same. To address these challenges, we propose a heuristic
illustrating the core elements needed for governing plant
breeding research: Genetics, Environment, Management and
Social system (GxExMxS) are the core elements for defining
directions for future breeding. We illustrate this based on
historic cases in context of current developments in plant
phenotyping technologies and derive implications for
governing research infrastructures and breeding programs. As
part of mission-oriented governance we deem long-term
investments into human resources and experimental set-ups
for agricultural systems necessary to ensure a symbiotic
relationship for private and public breeding actors and
recommend fostering collaboration between social and natural
sciences for working towards transdisciplinary
collaboration.},
