Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) refers to the use of molecular markers to assist phenotypic
selections in crop improvement. Several types of molecular markers, such as single …

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is an orphan crop with the potential to improve
cereal production and quality, and ensure food security. Here we present the genetic …

We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-
genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate …

Maize production is threatened by drought stress worldwide. Identification of the genetic
components underlying drought tolerance in maize is of great importance. Here we report a …

Since its 2015 update, MaizeGDB, the Maize Genetics and Genomics database, has
expanded to support the sequenced genomes of many maize inbred lines in addition to the …

Since the development of single-hybrid maize breeding programs in the first half of the
twentieth century, maize yields have increased over sevenfold, and much of that increase …

While prokaryotic pan-genomes have been shown to contain many more genes than any
individual organism, the prevalence and functional significance of differentially present …

The rhizosphere is a critical interface supporting the exchange of resources between plants
and their associated soil environment. Rhizosphere microbial diversity is influenced by the …

Background The availability of the peach genome sequence has fostered relevant research
in peach and related Prunus species enabling the identification of genes underlying …
