Having played important roles in human growth and development, livestock animals are
regarded as integral parts of society. However, industrialization has depleted natural …

Understanding the biological mechanisms underlying tick resistance in cattle holds the
potential to facilitate genetic improvement through selective breeding. Genome wide …

With the increasing population, there lies a pressing demand for food, feed and fibre, while
the changing climatic conditions pose severe challenges for agricultural production …

Abstract Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wizcek) is an important pulse crop, increasingly used
as a source of protein, fiber, low fat, carbohydrates, minerals, and bioactive compounds in …

Background We consider two key problems in genomics involving multiple traits: multi-trait
genome wide association studies (GWAS), where the goal is to detect genetic variants …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are powerful for identifying genomic regions, or
even directly the causal loci, controlling the variation of quantitative traits impacted by …

This study sought to understand the genetic basis of the piping leaf margin phenotype in
pineapple. To achieve this aim, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using mixed …

Sorghum is an important food crop in many parts of Africa and Asia. Landraces of sorghum
are known to exhibit variation in food quality traits including starch and protein content and …

The seedlessness of grape derived from stenospermocarpy is one of the most prized traits of
table or raisin grapes. It is controlled by a complex genetic system containing one dominant …
