Crop populations derived from experimental crosses enable the genetic dissection of
complex traits and support modern plant breeding. Among these, multi-parent populations …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has become a widely accepted strategy for
decoding genotype-phenotype associations in many species thanks to advances in next …

R/qtl2 is an interactive software environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in
experimental populations. The R/qtl2 software expands the scope of the widely-used R/qtl …

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) can be a powerful tool for the identification of
genes associated with agronomic traits in crop species, but it is often hindered by population …

With the advent of rapid genotyping and next‐generation sequencing technologies, genome‐
wide association study (GWAS) has become a routine strategy for decoding genotype …

Agricultural production faces a Herculean challenge to feed the increasing global
population. Food production systems need to deliver more with finite land and water …

GWAS involves testing genetic variants across the genomes of many individuals of a
population to identify genotype–phenotype association. It was initially developed and has …

food security have not yet been fully exploited, and the integration of the state-of-art …

Today's increasingly unequal and resource intensive development model degrades and
surpasses Earth's finite capacity to sustain human well-being. Society must restore this …

Taking advantage of natural variation promotes our understanding of phenotypic diversity
and trait evolution, ultimately accelerating plant breeding, in which the identification of …
