Genetic progress of crop plants is required to face human population growth and guarantee
production stability in increasingly unstable environmental conditions. Breeding is …

Intersec, the leading trade fair for safety, security and fire protection returns to Dubai at a
time when the commercial security market alone is forecast to grow by 16% to 2025. With …

Pleiotropy—when a single gene controls two or more seemingly unrelated traits—has been
shown to impact genes with effects on flowering time, leaf architecture, and inflorescence …

Soybean is grown primarily for the protein and oil extracted from its seed and its value is
influenced by these components. The objective of this study was to map marker‐trait …

Genomic regions containing loci with effect sizes that interact with environmental factors are
desirable targets for selection because of increasingly unpredictable growing seasons …

Plants influence the abiotic and biotic environment of the rhizosphere, affecting plant
performance through plant–soil feedback (PSF). We compared the strength of nutrient and …

Comprehensive maps of functional variation at transcription factor (TF) binding sites (cis-
elements) are crucial for elucidating how genotype shapes phenotype. Here we report the …

Transposable elements (TEs) have long been shown to have deleterious effects on the
survival and reproduction of their host organism. As TEs are mobile DNA that jump to new …

Own-rooted grapevines and grapevine rootstocks are vegetatively propagated from cuttings
and have an adventitious root system. Unraveling the genetic underpinnings of the …

A crucial step in inbred plant breeding is the choice of mating design to derive high-
performing inbred varieties while also maintaining a competitive breeding population to …
