The genomic landscape of gene-level structural variations in Japanese and global soybean Glycine max cultivars
Japanese soybeans are traditionally bred to produce soy foods such as tofu, miso and boiled soybeans. Here, to investigate their distinctive genomi…
Origin and de novo domestication of sweet orange
Sweet orange is cultivated worldwide but suffers from various devastating diseases because of its monogenetic background. The elucidation of the or…
Facts, uncertainties, and opportunities in wheat molecular improvement
The year 2020 was a landmark year for wheat. The wheat HB4 event harboring a drought-resistant gene from sunflowers, received regulatory approval a…
Multi-population GWAS detects robust marker associations in a newly established six-rowed winter barley breeding program
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful tool for identifying marker-trait associations that can accelerate breeding progress. Yet, its p…
Incorporating spatial and genetic competition into breeding pipelines with the R package gencomp
Genetic competition can obscure the true merit of selection candidates, potentially leading to altered genotype rankings and a divergence between e…
Revealing stable SNPs and genomic prediction insights across environments enhance breeding strategies of productivity, defense, and climate-adaptability traits in white spruce
Exploring the relationship between phenotype, genotype, and environment is essential in quantitative genetics. Considering the complex genetic arch…
Development of accessible and scalable maize pollen storage technology
The inherent short lifespan of Zea mays (maize, corn) pollen hinders crop improvement and challenges the hybrid seed production required to …
