Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

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 …

The rich genetic diversity in Oryza sativa and Oryza rufipogon serves as the main sources in
rice breeding. Large-scale resequencing has been undertaken to discover allelic variants in …

Crop populations derived from experimental crosses enable the genetic dissection of
complex traits and support modern plant breeding. Among these, multi-parent populations …

R/qtl2 is an interactive software environment for map** quantitative trait loci (QTL) in
experimental populations. The R/qtl2 software expands the scope of the widely-used R/qtl …

Infectious disease is both a major force of selection in nature and a prime cause of yield loss
in agriculture. In plants, disease resistance is often conferred by nucleotide-binding leucine …

Over the last 10 years, high-density SNP arrays and DNA re-sequencing have illuminated
the majority of the genotypic space for a number of organisms, including humans, maize …

It is increasingly important to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of local
adaptation because of its relevance to climate change, crop and animal production, and …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has become a widely accepted strategy for
decoding genotype-phenotype associations in many species thanks to advances in next …

Natural variants of crops are generated from wild progenitor plants under both natural and
human selection. Diverse crops that are able to adapt to various environmental conditions …
