Maize (Zea mays L.), the third most widely cultivated cereal crop in the world, plays a critical
role in global food security. To improve the efficiency of selecting superior genotypes in …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most crucial crops for global food security worldwide. For
this reason, many efforts have been undertaken to address the efficient utilization of …

The ability to predict traits from genome-wide sequence information (ie, genomic prediction)
has improved our understanding of the genetic basis of complex traits and transformed …

Context Tropical maize lines are known to have extended flowering times when grown in
northern temperate environments, a response largely due to the prolonged day length. This …

Modulating days to flowering is a key mechanism in plants for adapting to new
environments, and variation in days to flowering drives population structure by limiting …

Key message Key genes controlling flowering and interactions of different photoperiod
alleles with various environments were identified in a barley MAGIC population. A new …

Camelina sativa is a promising oilseed and industrial crop that benefits sustainable food,
feed and fuel industries. Early flowering is critical for local adaptation as well as maximizing …

The prediction of the flowering time (FT) trait in Brassica napus based on genome-wide
markers and the detection of underlying genetic factors is important not only for oilseed …

Societal Impact Statement As the growing season changes, the development of climate
resilient crop varieties has emerged as a crucial adaptation in agricultural systems. Breeding …

Flowering time is one of the major adaptive traits in domestication of maize and an important
selection criterion in breeding. To detect more maize flowering time variants we evaluated …
