Background Linking phenotypes and genotypes to identify genetic architectures that
regulate important traits is crucial for plant breeding and the development of plant genomics …

This perspective lays out a framework to enable the breeding of crops that can meet
worldwide demand under the challenges of global climate change. Past work in various …

Quantitative genetics in Caenorhabditis elegans seeks to identify naturally segregating
genetic variants that underlie complex traits. Genome-wide association studies scan the …

Africa-wide core collection across three seasons in Uganda Abstract Groundnut is cultivated …

Mature pod color (PC) and pod size (PS) served as important characteristics are used in the
soybean breeding programs. However, manual phenotyping of such complex traits is time …

Genotype-by-environment (G× E) interactions are important for understanding genotype–
phenotype relationships. To date, various statistical models have been proposed to account …

The accuracy of trait measurements greatly affects the quality of genetic analyses. During
automated phenotyping, trait measurement errors, ie differences between automatically …

An increasing number of field studies have shown that the phenotype of an individual plant
depends not only on its genotype but also on those of neighboring plants; however, this fact …

Genomic loci that control the variance of agronomically important traits are increasingly
important due to the profusion of unpredictable environments arising from climate change …
