“…Nitrogen use efficiency has been investigated in numerous studies and within different crops such as wheat (Baresel et al, 2008; Guarda et al, 2004), potato (Ospina et al, 2014; Tiemens‐Hulscher et al, 2014) and barley (Kindu et al, 2014). In general, due to the high variation of traits related to efficient nitrogen use in extensive and more favourable conditions of nitrogen supply, selection for high nitrogen use efficiency is very difficult to achieve (Döring & Wolfe, 2020). Competitive ability against weeds is another trait of interest identified by organic farmers likely due to the absence of chemical treatments in the organic systems (Kucek, 2017; Mason & Spaner, 2006).…”

“…So far, this approach has been adopted in numerous research topics in the field of agronomy, such as analysis of publications from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) related to plant genetics and breeding (Morales et al, 2013), potato research (Yuan & Sun, 2022), seed traits research (Liu et al, 2022), world rice research (Sun & Yuan, 2020) and many more. Although there has been a lot of review publications related to plant breeding in organic agriculture (Ceccarelli & Grando, 2022; Crespo‐Herrera & Ortiz, 2015; Döring & Wolfe, 2020; Lammerts van Bueren et al, 2010, 2011), to the best of our knowledge, no specific bibliometric analysis has been conducted on this topic so far.…”

Use of varieties bred under organic conditions is essential in order to minimize the yield gap between organic and conventional agriculture. The aim of this study was to analyse research publications related to the topic ‘organic plant breeding’ from the Web of Science database using bibliometric science mapping and visualization tools. The number of analysed documents in the bibliographic dataset was 204 from the 53 sources. The overall trend in the organic plant breeding literature showed that the number of publications increased during the observed time‐span. We found that in total, 65 countries and 337 institutions are active in the field of organic plant breeding with a high degree of international collaboration. The top five countries according to the number of publications were the United States, Italy, Germany, France, and Canada, while the most active institutions were Wageningen University, Iowa State University, University of Alberta, University of Copenhagen, and University of Hohenheim. All keywords from the organic plant breeding research in the agronomy category were separated into seven clusters for different research topics. Although there is evident progress viewed through the increased trend in the number of publications, organic plant breeding needs further expansion and development. This is especially through the implementation of novel plant breeding techniques and methods aiming to improve traits that are highly specific to organic conditions.
