Over the last few decades, the use of molecular markers has played an increasing role in
rice breeding and genetics. Of the different types of molecular markers, microsatellites have …

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 …

Understanding soybean (Glycine max) domestication and improvement at a genetic level is
important to inform future efforts to further improve a crop that provides the world's main …

Understanding how and why populations evolve is of fundamental importance to molecular
ecology. Restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (RAD seq), a popular reduced …

Accelerating crop improvement in sorghum, a staple food for people in semiarid regions
across the developing world, is key to ensuring global food security in the context of climate …

Uncovering the genetic basis of agronomic traits in crop landraces that have adapted to
various agro-climatic conditions is important to world food security. Here we have …

The grape is one of the earliest domesticated fruit crops and, since antiquity, it has been
widely cultivated and prized for its fruit and wine. Here, we characterize genome-wide …

Despite important strides in marker technologies, the use of marker‐assisted selection has
stagnated for the improvement of quantitative traits. Biparental mating designs for the …

Salinity tolerance in rice is highly desirable to sustain production in areas rendered saline
due to various reasons. It is a complex quantitative trait having different components, which …

Improved genotypes developed by plant breeding remain pivotal to global food security. In
the wake of ever-increasing human population, declining agricultural resources and the …
