Abstract
► We demonstrate how Australian narrow-leafed lupin breeding has changed over time, using multi-environment historical variety trials. ► Productivity, yield responsiveness, harvest index and fecundity have increased over time. ► Breeders have selected strongly for drought escape via temperature responsive phenology in the short season Mediterranean WA. ► Late phenology is confounded with vernalization, and effective in cool, long season eastern environments, but not in warm WA. ► Lupin potential, particularly in warm long season climates, is limited by low variation within each vernalization group.
