Polyploid organisms carry more than two copies of each chromosome, a condition rarely
tolerated in animals but which occurs relatively frequently in the plant kingdom. One of the …

Key message Structural genome variation is a major determinant of useful trait diversity. We
describe how genome analysis methods are enabling discovery of trait-associated structural …

High-throughput genotyping arrays continue to be an attractive, cost-effective alternative to
sequencing based approaches. We have developed a new 50k Illumina Infinium iSelect …

Polypoid species play significant roles in agriculture and food production. Many crop
species are polyploid, such as potato, wheat, strawberry, and sugarcane. Genotyping has …

Genomic prediction tools support crop breeding based on statistical methods, such as the
genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP). However, these tools are not designed to …

In modern plant breeding, genomic selection is becoming the gold standard for selection of
superior genotypes. The basis for genomic prediction models is a set of phenotyped lines …

Over the last two decades, the application of genomic selection has been extensively
studied in various crop species, and it has become a common practice to report prediction …

Genomic rearrangements arising during polyploidization are an important source of genetic
and phenotypic variation in the recent allopolyploid crop Brassica napus. Exchanges among …

Interest in canola (Brassica napus L.). In response to this interest, scientists have been
tasked with altering and optimizing the protein production chain to ensure canola proteins …

Although copy number variation (CNV) and presence-absence variation (PAV) have been
discovered in selected gene families in most crop species, the global prevalence of these …
