The search for quantitative trait loci that explain complex traits such as yield and drought
tolerance has been ongoing in all crops. Methods such as biparental quantitative trait loci …

Genotype-to-phenotype (G2P) prediction has become a mainstream paradigm to facilitate
genomic selection (GS)-assisted breeding in the seed industry. Many methods have been …

The employment of doubled-haploid (DH) technology in maize has vastly accelerated the
efficiency of developing inbred lines. The selection of superior lines has to rely on genotypes …

Annual crops, which include staple crops like rice [1], wheat [2], maize [3], cotton [4], and
soybean [5], among others, have been extensively studied for their complex traits and the …

Lodging reduces grain yield in cereal crops. The height, diameter and strength of stem are
crucial for lodging resistance, grain yield, and photosynthate transport in barley …

Genomic selection (GS), a strategy to use genotypes to predict phenotypes via statistical or
machine learning models, has become a routine practice in plant breeding programs. GS …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional values of three new corn varieties
(high-iron corn, cadmium-resistant corn, low-phytate phosphorus corn) cultivated with …

Although multi-parent populations (MPPs) integrate the advantages of linkage and
association mapping populations in the genetic dissection of complex traits and especially …

Most agronomic traits are genetically complex and often show genotype× environment (G×
E) interactions which complicate selection and slows down the breeding progress. As model …

MaizeCUBIC is a free database that describes genomic variations, gene expression,
phenotypes and quantitative trait locus (QTLs) for a maize CUBIC population (24 founders …
