In the last decade, the revolution in sequencing technologies has deeply impacted crop
genotyping practice. New methods allowing rapid, high‐throughput genotyping of entire …

Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector in agriculture. Substantial genetic gains have been
achieved in a few cultured species using conventional selective breeding approaches …

R/qtl2 is an interactive software environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in
experimental populations. The R/qtl2 software expands the scope of the widely-used R/qtl …

Over the last 15 years a wealth of linkage maps and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping
results have become available. The pace of generating this genetic information is …

Genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) is an important phenomenon in plant breeding.
This paper presents a series of models for describing, exploring, understanding, and …

Seed shape and size are among the most important agronomic traits because they affect
yield and market price. To obtain accurate seed size data, a large number of measurements …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a primary limitation to crop productivity on acid soils, and rice has
been demonstrated to be significantly more Al tolerant than other cereal crops. However, the …

Identification of genes that control root system architecture in crop plants requires
innovations that enable high-throughput and accurate measurements of root system …

Glucosinolates are anionic thioglucosides that have become one of the most frequently
studied groups of defensive metabolites in plants. When tissue damage occurs, the …

Abstract Development of high-yielding wheat varieties with good end-use quality has always
been a major concern for wheat breeders. To genetically dissect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …
