This manuscript provides a brief overview of latest research involving the use of lateral flow
assay for qualitative and quantitative analysis in different areas. The excellent features and …

Background Earlier next-generation sequencing technologies are being vastly used to
explore, administer, and investigate the gene space with accurate profiling of nucleotide …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the main staple cereal food crop cultivated in southern Africa.
Interactions between grain yield and biochemical traits can be useful to plant breeders in …

Key message The potato late blight resistance gene R8 has been cloned. R8 is found in five
late blight resistant varieties deployed in three different continents. R8 recognises Avr8 and …

Following the molecular characterisation of functional disease resistance genes in recent
years, methods to track and verify the integrity of multiple genes in varieties are needed for …

Key message A broad-spectrum late blight disease-resistance gene from Solanum
verrucosum has been mapped to potato chromosome 9. The gene is distinct from previously …

The objective of this study was to construct a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based
genetic map at the cultivated tetraploid level to locate quantitative trait loci (QTL) contributing …

It is necessary to develop and deploy novel protein production to allow the establishment of
a sustainable supply for both humans and animals, given the ongoing expansion of protein …

Crop domestication has led to the development of distinct trait syndromes, a series of
constrained plant trait trade‐offs to maximize yield in high‐input agricultural environments …

Key message Rice breeding programs based on pedigree schemes can use a genomic
model trained with data from their working collection to predict performances of progenies …
