Deciphering the mechanism of malate accumulation in plants would contribute to a greater
understanding of plant chemistry, which has implications for improving flavor quality in crop …

Structural variants and presence/absence polymorphisms are common in plant genomes,
yet they are routinely overlooked in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Here, we …

A large-scale metabolic quantitative trait loci (mQTL) analysis was performed on the well-
characterized Solanum pennellii introgression lines to investigate the genomic regions …

Plant metabolic studies have traditionally focused on the role and regulation of the enzymes
catalyzing key reactions within specific pathways. Within the past 20 years, reverse genetic …

The contribution of genetic interactions involving three or more loci to complex traits is poorly
understood. These higher-order genetic interactions (HGIs) are difficult to detect in genetic …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have provided valuable insights into the genetic
