Salt stress is an ever-present threat to crop yields, especially in countries with irrigated
agriculture. Efforts to improve salt tolerance in crop plants are vital for sustainable crop …

Advances in molecular biology including genomics, high-throughput sequencing, and
genome editing enable increasingly faster and more precise cultivar development …

Salinity is an ever-present major constraint and a major threat to legume crops, particularly
in areas with irrigated agriculture. Legumes demonstrate high sensitivity, especially during …

The date palm can adapt to extreme drought, to heat, and to relatively high levels of soil
salinity. However, excessive amounts of salt due to irrigation with brackish water lead to a …

Oil palm has become one of the most important oil crops in the world. Marker-assisted
selections have played a pivotal role in oil palm breeding programs. Here, we report the use …

The world is facing rapid climate change and a fast-growing global population. It is believed
that the world population will be 9.7 billion in 2050. However, recent agriculture production …

Key message Sustaining yield gains of grain legume crops under growing salt-stressed
conditions demands a thorough understanding of plant salinity response and more efficient …

Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.), a cool-season legume crop grown in more than 85
countries, is the second most important grain legume and one of the major green vegetables …

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays represent important genotyping tools for
innovative strategies in both basic research and applied breeding. Pea is an important food …

Background Marker-assisted breeding is now routinely used in major crops to facilitate more
efficient cultivar improvement. This has been significantly enabled by the use of next …
