The efficient use of testing resources is one of the key factors for successful plant breeding
programs. Controlling micro‐and macro‐environmental variability is an effective way of …

We find that variation in the dbt-1 gene underlies natural differences in Caenorhabditis
elegans responses to the toxin arsenic. This gene encodes the E2 subunit of the branched …

Two decades have passed since the strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) disease caused by
Macrophomina phaseolina, a necrotrophic soilborne fungal pathogen, began surfacing in …

Well-performing genomic prediction (GP) models for polygenic traits and molecular marker
sets for oligogenic traits could be useful for identifying promising genetic resources in …

Using a new experimentally evolved multiparent mapping resource for C. elegans, Noble et

Abstract Rock Bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) is an important aquaculture species for
offshore cage aquaculture and fish stocking of marine ranching in East Asia. Genomic …

Abstract Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is an oilseed crop in the Brassicaceae
family that is currently being developed as a source of bioenergy and healthy fatty acids. To …

The efficiency of breeding programs depends on the ability to screen large numbers of
individuals. For complex traits like yield, this can be assisted by genomic selection, which is …

The many quantitative traits of interest to plant breeders are often genetically correlated,
which can complicate progress from selection. Improving multiple traits may be enhanced by …
