The BGLR-R package implements various types of single-trait shrinkage/variable selection
Bayesian regressions. The package was first released in 2014, since then it has become a …

The objective of this study was to uncover the genetic background of wool quality, a
production trait, by estimating genomic heritability and implementing GWAS in Akkaraman …

Plants produce a range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), some of which are perceived
by the human olfactory system, contributing to a myriad flavors. Despite the importance of …

Key message β-Carotene content in sweetpotato is associated with the Orange and
phytoene synthase genes; due to physical linkage of phytoene synthase with sucrose …

Genomic selection (GS) as a promising molecular breeding strategy has been widely
implemented and evaluated for plant breeding, because it has remarkable superiority in …

In diploid species, genetic loci can show additive, dominance, and epistatic effects. To
characterize the contributions of these different types of genetic effects to heritable traits, we …

The annual production of strawberry has increased by one million tonnes in the US and 8.4
million tonnes worldwide since 1960. Here we show that the US expansion was driven by …

In modern plant breeding, genomic selection is becoming the gold standard for selection of
superior genotypes. The basis for genomic prediction models is a set of phenotyped lines …

Key message Large genetic improvement can be achieved by simultaneous genomic
selection for grain yield and protein content when combining different breeding strategies in …

Association mapping panels represent foundational resources for understanding the genetic
basis of phenotypic diversity and serve to advance plant breeding by exploring genetic …
