Understanding the genetic complexity of traits is an important objective of small grain
temperate cereals yield and adaptation improvements. Bi-parental quantitative trait loci …

The whole genome sequence (WGS) of the much awaited, nutrient rich and climate resilient
crop, finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) has been released recently. While …

Grain weight, an essential yield component, is under strong genetic control and at the same
time markedly influenced by the environment. Genetic analysis of the thousand grain weight …

Background Cotton supplies a great majority of natural fiber for the global textile industry.
The negative correlation between yield and fiber quality has hindered breeders' ability to …

Grapes are one of the most economically and culturally important crops worldwide, and they
have been bred for both winemaking and fresh consumption. Here we evaluate patterns of …

This study focuses on the potential of multi-omics and machine learning approaches in
improving our understanding of the malting processes and cultivation systems in barley. The …

Apple (Malus X. domestica Borkh.) is one of the world's most valuable fruit crops. Its large
size and long juvenile phase make it a particularly promising candidate for marker‐assisted …

Background Molecular markers associated with relevant agronomic traits could significantly
reduce the time and cost involved in developing new sugarcane varieties. Previous …

Understanding the genetic architecture of fruit quality traits is crucial to target breeding of
apple (Malus domestica L.) cultivars. We linked genotype and phenotype information by …

Association mapping is usually performed by testing the correlation between a single marker
and phenotypes. However, because patterns of variation within genomes are inherited as …
