Detecting genetic variants under selection using FST outlier analysis (OA) and
environmental association analyses (EAAs) are popular approaches that provide insight into …

To match predicted population growth, annual food production should be doubled by 2050.
This is not achievable by current agronomical and breeding practices, due to the impact of …

Background Heat and drought are serious threats for crop growth and development. As the
sixth largest cereal crop in the world, pearl millet can not only be used for food and forage …

The disciplines of evolutionary biology and plant and animal breeding have been
intertwined throughout their development, with responses to artificial selection yielding …

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a C4 crop cultivated for its grain and stover in
crop-livestock-based rain-fed farming systems of tropics and subtropics in the Indian …

Global environmental changes strongly impact wild and domesticated species biology and
their associated ecosystem services. For crops, global warming has led to significant …

Drought will reduce global crop production by> 10% in 2050 substantially worsening global
malnutrition. Breeding for resistance to drought will require accessing crop genetic diversity …

Leveraging innovative tools to speed up prebreeding and discovery of genotypic sources of
adaptation from landraces, crop wild relatives, and orphan crops is a key prerequisite to …

Modern agriculture is currently facing challenges from a burgeoning population and
changing climate, which requires improved crops with adaptation to climate and elite yield …

Spatially varying selection triggers differential adaptation of local populations. Here, we
mined the determinants of local adaptation at the genomewide scale in the two closest …
