Plant breeders require genetic diversity to develop cultivars that are productive, nutritious,
tolerant of biotic and abiotic stresses, and make efficient use of water and fertilizer. The …

Abstract Genoty**-by-Sequencing (GBS) is a low-cost, high-throughput genoty**
method that relies on restriction enzymes to reduce genome complexity. GBS is being widely …

Genomic selection is being used increasingly in plant breeding to accelerate genetic gain
per unit time. One of the most important applications of genomic selection in maize breeding …

Drought stress (DS) is a major constraint to maize yield production. Heat stress (HS) alone
and in combination with DS are likely to become the increasing constraints. Association …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is one of the most economically significant crops because of
its high sucrose content and it is a promising biomass feedstock for biofuel production …

To increase genetic gain for tolerance to drought, we aimed to identify environmentally
stable QTL in per se and testcross combination under well-watered (WW) and drought …

Genomic selection (GS) increases genetic gain by reducing the length of the selection cycle,
as has been exemplified in maize using rapid cycling recombination of biparental …

In maize, doubled haploid (DH) line production capacity of large-sized maize breeding
programs often exceeds the capacity to phenotypically evaluate the complete set of testcross …

Metabolites are the intermediate and final products of metabolism, which play essential roles
in plant growth, evolution and adaptation to changing climates. However, it is unclear how …
