GWAS involves testing genetic variants across the genomes of many individuals of a
population to identify genotype–phenotype association. It was initially developed and has …

After being domesticated from teosinte, cultivated maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) spread
worldwide and now is one of the most important staple crops. Due to its tremendous …

Abstract Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is at the vanguard facing the upcoming breeding
challenges. However, both a super pan-genome for the Zea genus and a comprehensive …

Plant height (PH) is a key factor in maize (Zea mays L.) yield, biomass, and plant
architecture. We investigated the PH of diverse maize inbred lines (117 temperate lines, 135 …

Salt stress is a major devastating abiotic factor that affects the yield and quality of maize.
However, knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of the responses to salt stress in maize …

Abstract Non-conventional peptides (NCPs), which include small open reading frame-
encoded peptides, play critical roles in fundamental biological processes. In this study, we …

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 …

Glucosinolates (GSLs), whose degradation products have been shown to be increasingly
important for human health and plant defence, compose important secondary metabolites …

Rice seed storage protein (SSP) is an important source of nutrition and energy.
Understanding the genetic basis of SSP content and mining favorable alleles that control it …

Soybean is an excellent source of vegetable protein and edible oil. Understanding the
genetic basis of protein and oil content will improve the breeding programs for soybean …
