An increase in the rate of crop improvement is essential for achieving sustained food
production and other needs of ever-increasing population. Genomic selection (GS) is a …

The world is facing rapid climate change and a fast-growing global population. It is believed
that the world population will be 9.7 billion in 2050. However, recent agriculture production …

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an annual cool-season legume crop. Owing to its role in
sustainable agriculture as both a rotation and a cash crop, its global market is expanding …

Genomic selection (GS) unlike marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) predicts breeding
values of lines using genome-wide marker profiling and allows selection of lines prior to field …

Phenotyping is the current bottleneck in plant breeding, especially because next-generation
sequencing has decreased genotyping cost more than 100.000 fold in the last 20 years …

Pea (Pisum sativum) stands out as one of the most significant and productive cool-season
pulse crops cultivated worldwide. Dealing with biotic stresses remains a critical challenge in …

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) …

There is a need to accelerate crop improvement by introducing alleles conferring host plant
resistance, abiotic stress adaptation, and high yield potential. Elite cultivars, landraces and …

Pea is an important food and feed crop and a valuable component of low-input farming
systems. Improving resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses is a major breeding target to …

Background Genome-wide association (GWA) mapping has recently emerged as a valuable
approach for refining the genetic basis of polygenic resistance to plant diseases, which are …
