Background Marker-assisted breeding is now routinely used in major crops to facilitate more
efficient cultivar improvement. This has been significantly enabled by the use of next …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to identify loci associated with
agronomic (days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, seed yield and seed weight) …

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) quality is dependent on seed chemical composition, which in
turn determines the benefits of its consumption for human health and nutrition. While mung …

Genetic diversity, population structure and genome-wide marker-trait association analysis
was conducted for the USDA pea (Pisum sativum L.) core collection. The core collection …

Abstract Key message Gene-based SNPs were identified and mapped in pea using five
recombinant inbred line populations segregating for traits of agronomic importance. Abstract …

Micronutrient malnutrition is one of the main public health problems in many parts of the
world. This problem raises the attention of all valuable sources of micronutrients for the …

Abstract Background Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a self-pollinating, diploid, cool-season
food legume. Crop production is constrained by multiple biotic and abiotic stress factors …

Background Mineral nutrients play a crucial role in the biochemical and physiological
