Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

Salt stress limits the productivity of crops grown under saline conditions, leading to
substantial losses of yield in saline soils and under brackish and saline irrigation. Salt …

As the human population grows from 7.8 billion to 10 billion over the next 30 years, breeders
must do everything possible to create crops that are highly productive and nutritious, while …

Multiparental genetic mapping populations such as nested‐association mapping (NAM)
have great potential for investigating quantitative traits and associated genomic regions …

Key message CSSLs are a complete library of introgression lines with chromosomal
segments of usually a distant genotype in an adapted background and are valuable genetic …

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

The development of micronutrient dense rice varieties with good agronomic traits is one of
the sustainable and cost-effective approaches for reducing malnutrition. Identification of …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are highly abundant, amendable to high-
throughput genotyping, and useful for a number of breeding and genetics applications in …

QTLs for rice grain yield under reproductive stage drought stress (qDTY) identified earlier
with low density markers have shown linkage drag and need to be fine mapped before their …

Background While a multitude of genotyping platforms have been developed for rice, the
majority of them have not been optimized for breeding where cost, turnaround time …
