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

Key message MAGIC populations present novel challenges and opportunities in crops due
to their complex pedigree structure. They offer great potential both for dissecting genomic …

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

Maize has for many decades been both one of the most important crops worldwide and one
of the primary genetic model organisms. More recently, maize breeding has been impacted …

Plants have served as sources providing humans with metabolites for food and nutrition,
biomaterials for living, and treatment for pain and disease. Plants produce a huge array of …

In crop species, adaptation to different agroclimatic regions creates useful variation but also
leads to unwanted genetic correlations. Bouchet....... Adaptation of domesticated species to …

Assessing the genetic variability of plant performance under heat and drought scenarios can
contribute to reduce the negative effects of climate change. We propose here an approach …

The application of genomic selection in fruit tree crops is expected to enhance breeding
efficiency by increasing prediction accuracy, increasing selection intensity and decreasing …

Background The narrow genetic base of elite germplasm compromises long-term genetic
gain and increases the vulnerability to biotic and abiotic stresses in unpredictable …

Stomatal conductance is central for the trades‐off between hydraulics and photosynthesis.
We aimed at deciphering its genetic control and that of its responses to evaporative demand …
