This amount is often more than needed for optimal yield and can potentially have negative economic and environmental consequences. Monitoring crop nitrogen levels can inform managers of input requirements and potentially avoid excessive fertilization. Standard methods assessing plant nitrogen content, however, are time-consuming, destructive, and expensive. Therefore, the development of approaches estimating leaf nitrogen content in vivo and in situ could benefit fertilization management programs as well as breeding programs for nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). This study examined the ability of hyperspectral data to estimate leaf nitrogen concentrations and nitrogen uptake efficiency (NUpE) at the leaf and canopy levels in multiple winter wheat lines across two seasons. We collected spectral profiles of wheat foliage and canopies using full-range (350\u20132500 nm) spectroradiometers in combination with leaf tissue collection for standard analytical determination of nitrogen. We then applied partial least-squares regression, using spectral and reference nitrogen measurements, to build predictive models of leaf and canopy nitrogen concentrations. External validation of data from a multi-year model demonstrated effective nitrogen estimation at leaf and canopy level (R2 = 0.72, 0.67; root-mean-square error (RMSE) = 0.42, 0.46; normalized RMSE = 12, 13; bias = \u22120.06, 0.04, respectively). While NUpE was not directly well predicted using spectral data, NUpE values calculated from predicted leaf and canopy nitrogen levels were well correlated with NUpE determined using traditional methods, suggesting the potential of the approach in possibly replacing standard determination of plant nitrogen in assessing NUE. The results of our research reinforce the ability of hyperspectral data for the retrieval of nitrogen status and expand the utility of hyperspectral data in winter wheat lines to the application of nitrogen management practices and breeding programs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13193991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,8]],"date-time":"2021-10-08T21:26:20Z","timestamp":1633728380000},"page":"3991","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Incorporating Multi-Scale, Spectrally Detected Nitrogen Concentrations into Assessing Nitrogen Use Efficiency for Winter Wheat Breeding Populations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Raquel","family":"Peron-Danaher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"},{"name":"Interdisciplinary Life Science Education Program, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"},{"name":"Center for Plant Biology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"}]},{"given":"Blake","family":"Russell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4401-3896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Cotrozzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"},{"name":"Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4536-1200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohsen","family":"Mohammadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4784-4537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Couture","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"},{"name":"Center for Plant Biology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"},{"name":"Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1007\/s12571-013-0263-y","article-title":"Crops that feed the world Past successes and future challenges to the role played by wheat in global food security","volume":"5","author":"Shiferaw","year":"2013","journal-title":"Food Secur."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"FAO (2020, January 15).
