Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

Climate change is a threat to global food security due to the reduction of crop productivity
around the globe. Food security is a matter of concern for stakeholders and policymakers as …

There is an increasing awareness that as a result of structural variation, a reference
sequence representing a genome of a single individual is unable to capture all of the gene …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are associated with changes in gene expression levels and
contribute to various adaptive traits,. Here we show that a CNV at the Grain Length on …

Wild relatives of crops are an important source of genetic diversity for agriculture, but their
gene repertoire remains largely unexplored. We report the establishment and analysis of a …

There is a rapidly rising trend in the development and application of molecular marker
assays for gene mapping and discovery in field crops and trees. Thus far, more than 50 SNP …

The rhg1-b allele of soybean is widely used for resistance against soybean cyst nematode
(SCN), the most economically damaging pathogen of soybeans in the United States. Gene …

Increasing crop production is necessary to feed the world's expanding population, and crop
breeders often utilize genetic variations to improve crop yield and quality. However, the …

Genetic variation ranging from single-nucleotide polymorphisms to large structural variants
(SVs) can cause variation of gene content among individuals within the same species. There …

Domestication provides an important model for the study of evolution, and information
learned from domestication research aids in the continued improvement of crop species …
