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