Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are effectively applied to detect the marker trait
associations (MTAs) using whole genome-wide variants for complex quantitative traits in …

With the growth of the global population and the increasing frequency of natural disasters,
crop yields must be steadily increased to enhance human adaptability to risks. Pre-harvest …

The great efforts spent in the maintenance of past diversity in genebanks are rationalized by
the potential role of plant genetic resources (PGR) in future crop improvement—a concept …

Diversity surveys of crop germplasm are important for gaining insights into the genomic
basis for plant architecture and grain yield improvement, which is still poorly understood in …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a staple food for about 40% of the world's population. As the
global population has grown and living standards improved, high yield and improved …

Background Large-scale genotype–phenotype association studies of crop germplasm are
important for identifying alleles associated with favorable traits. The limited number of single …

Dissecting the genetic basis of complex traits such as dynamic growth and yield potential is
a major challenge in crops. Monitoring the growth throughout growing season in a large …

Gene regulation is central to all aspects of organism growth, and understanding it using
large-scale functional datasets can provide a whole view of biological processes controlling …

Novel crop improvement approaches, including those that facilitate for the exploitation of
crop wild relatives and underutilized species harboring the much-needed natural allelic …

Identification of marker trait association is a prerequisite for marker-assisted breeding. To
