Pearl millet, a vital staple food and an important cereal, is emerging as crop having various
end-uses as feed, food as well as fodder. Advancement in high-throughput sequencing …

Background Genome wide association studies (GWAS) on residual feed intake (RFI) and its
component traits including daily dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG), and …

Understanding the biological mechanisms of climatic adaptation is of paramount importance
for the optimization of breeding programs and conservation of genetic resources. The aim of …

Non-synonymous SNPs and protein coding SNPs within the promoter region of genes
(regulatory SNPs) might have a significant effect on carcass traits. Imputed sequence level …

Plant breeding has a long history of develo** new varieties that have ensured the food
