Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have developed into a powerful and ubiquitous
tool for the investigation of complex traits. In large part, this was fueled by advances in …

Main conclusion Droughts negatively affect sorghum's productivity and nutritional quality.
Across its diversity centers, however, there exist resilient genotypes that function differently …

Key message The importance and potential of the multi-purpose crop sorghum in global
food security have not yet been fully exploited, and the integration of the state-of-art …

Plants intricately deploy defense systems to counter diverse biotic and abiotic stresses.
Omics technologies, spanning genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics …

Omics technologies, namely genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and
phenomics, are becoming an integral part of virtually every commercial cereal crop breeding …

Sorghum is emerging as a model crop for functional genetics and genomics of tropical
grasses with abundant uses, including food, feed, and fuel, among others. It is currently the …

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) or linseed is one of the important industrial crops grown all
over the world for seed oil and fiber. Besides oil and fiber, flax offers a wide range of …

Main conclusion A new imaging platform was constructed to analyze drought-tolerant traits
of rice. Rice was used to quantify drought phenotypes through image-based parameters and …

Abstract Key message Green Leaf Area Index dynamics is a promising secondary trait for
grain yield and drought tolerance. Multivariate GWAS is particularly well suited to identify the …
