Investigating crop diversity through genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) on core
collections helps in deciphering the genetic determinants of complex quantitative traits …

Meiotic recombination is a fundamental feature of sexually reproducing species. It is often
required for proper chromosome segregation and plays important role in adaptation and the …

Human selection on wild populations mostly favored a common set of plant traits during
domestication. This process of direct selection also altered other independent traits that …

X chromosome was reported to be a major contributor to isolation between closely related
species—the 'large X'effect (LXE). The causes of LXE are not clear, but the leading theory is …

Abstract Background The swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis carabanesis) is an economically
important livestock supplying milk, meat, leather, and draft power. Several female buffalo …

Meiotic recombination is crucial for assuring proper segregation of parental chromosomes
and generation of novel allelic combinations. As this process is tightly regulated, identifying …

Increasing natural resistance and resilience in plants is key for ensuring food security within
a changing climate. Breeders improve these traits by crossing cultivars with their wild …

It is now well recognised that closely related species can hybridize and exchange genetic
material, which may promote or oppose adaptation and speciation. In some cases …

The genomic landscape of recombination plays an essential role in evolution. Patterns of
recombination are highly variable along chromosomes, between sexes, individuals …

Recombination is the primary mechanism underlying genetic improvement in populations
and allows plant breeders to create new allelic combinations for agronomic improvement …
