The above-ground plant body in different plant species can have very distinct forms or
architectures that arise by recurrent redeployment of a finite set of building blocks—leaves …

Compared to other potential feedstocks such as sugarcane, sugar beet, maize, and
watermelon, sweet sorghum possesses higher levels of directly fermentable reducing …

Community association populations are composed of phenotypically and genetically diverse
accessions. Once these populations are genotyped, the resulting marker data can be reused …

Abstract Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] grown locally by Japanese farmers is
generically termed Takakibi, although its genetic diversity compared with geographically …

The architecture of a plant affects its ability to compete for light and to respond to
environmental stresses, thus affecting overall fitness and productivity. Two components of …

We describe a genetic map with a total of 381 bins of 616 genotyping by sequencing (GBS)-
based SNP markers in a F6-F8 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of 393 individuals …

Background Genome editing tools derived from clustered regularly interspaced short
palindromic repeats (CRISPR) systems have been developed for generating targeted …

Simple Summary Finding smart management targets to improve livestock production and
make it sustainable are very important for livestock in the tropics. We assessed the effects of …

Multi-parent populations contain valuable genetic material for dissecting complex,
quantitative traits and provide a unique opportunity to capture multi-allelic variation …

Background and aims Miscanthus is a genus of perennial C4 grasses native to East Asia. It
includes the emerging ligno-cellulosic biomass crop M.× giganteus, a hybrid between M …
