Book excerpt: Emerging phenotyping methods and increasingly abundant genotyping platforms have become valuable tools for the discovery and introgression of yield-positive and stress-adaptive genes into modern wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The main goal of this research was to identify genomic regions that contribute to yield potential and drought tolerance in wheat using agronomic and remotely sensed phenotyping approaches. Phenotypic interrelations, genetic variability of yield, yield components, phenology, and spectral reflectance indices (SRIs) were evaluated in a Pacific Northwest (PNW) winter wheat diversity panel (n = 402). The SRIs showed moderate to high phenotypic correlations with grain yield (|r| = 0.27 -- 0.84, p
