Genome structural variation (SV) contributes strongly to trait variation in eukaryotic species
and may have an even higher functional significance than single‐nucleotide polymorphism …

Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

There is an increasing understanding that variation in gene presence–absence plays an
important role in the heritability of agronomic traits; however, there have been relatively few …

With the global human population growing rapidly, agricultural production must increase to
meet crop demand. Improving crops through breeding is a sustainable approach to increase …

Using next-generation sequencing technologies it is possible to resequence entire plant
genomes or sample entire transcriptomes more efficiently and economically and in greater …

Background Linking phenotypes and genotypes to identify genetic architectures that
regulate important traits is crucial for plant breeding and the development of plant genomics …

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) was the original model organism used in Mendel's discovery (1866)
of the laws of inheritance, making it the foundation of modern plant genetics. However …

Genotyping‐by‐sequencing has enabled approaches for genomic selection to improve
yield, stress resistance and nutritional value. More and more resource studies are emerging …

Crop production needs to increase to secure future food supplies, while reducing its impact
on ecosystems. Detailed characterization of plant genomes and genetic diversity is crucial …

Genebanks have the long-term mission of preserving plant genetic resources as an
