Abstract Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is one of the most important root crops
cultivated worldwide. Because of its adaptability, high yield potential, and nutritional value …

Polyploid organisms carry more than two copies of each chromosome, a condition rarely
tolerated in animals but which occurs relatively frequently in the plant kingdom. One of the …

Most traits of agronomic importance are quantitative in nature, and genetic markers have
been used for decades to dissect such traits. Recently, genomic selection has earned …

Recent advances in the genomics of polyploid species answer some of the long-standing
questions about the role of polyploidy in crop species. Here, we summarize the current …

Rubus fruits are high-value crops that are sought after by consumers for their flavor, visual
appeal, and health benefits. To meet this demand, production of red and black raspberries …

Motivation The resemble between relatives computed from pedigree and genomic data is an
important resource for geneticists and ecologists, who are interested in understanding how …

With the rapid expansion of the application of genomics and sequencing in plant breeding,
there is a constant drive for better reference genomes. In potato (Solanum tuberosum), the …

High-throughput genotyping boosts genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in crop
species, leading to the identification of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated …

Key message Genomic prediction models for starch content and chipping quality show
promising results, suggesting that genomic selection is a feasible breeding strategy in …

Potato is one of the most important food crops in the world. Late blight, viruses, soil and
