Understanding the genetic complexity of traits is an important objective of small grain
temperate cereals yield and adaptation improvements. Bi-parental quantitative trait loci …

Germination is a traditional process and a re-emerging trend in healthy foods, resulting a
progressively increase in scientific research on their nutritional traits and phytochemical …

Background Plants form the base of the terrestrial food chain and provide medicines, fuel,
fibre and industrial materials to humans. Vascular land plants rely on their roots to acquire …

Crop production is often restricted by the availability of essential mineral elements. For
example, the availability of N, P, K, and S limits low-input agriculture, the phytoavailability of …

Most of the lentil growing countries face a certain set of abiotic and biotic stresses causing
substantial reduction in crop growth, yield, and production. Until-to date, lentil breeders have …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have emerged as a powerful tool for unraveling
intricate genotype–phenotype association across various species. Maize (Zea mays L.) …

A multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) derived from 11 founder lines in
faba bean was used in this study to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for frost tolerance …

Frost stress is one of the abiotic stresses that causes a significant reduction in winter faba
bean yield in Europe. The main objective of this work is to genetically improve frost tolerance …

Statistical models are at the core of the genome-wide association study (GWAS). In this
chapter, we provide an overview of single-and multilocus statistical models, Bayesian, and …

Stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici Erikss. & E. Henn.), is a major disease in
wheat (Triticum aestivium L.). However, in recent years it occurs rarely in Nebraska due to …
