This review describes the current status of genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the
major crops in maize (Zea mays L.) concentrate on performing association map** as a …

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

Maize has for many decades been both one of the most important crops worldwide and one
of the primary genetic model organisms. More recently, maize breeding has been impacted …

Maize is one of the most important crops, but its production is threatened by drought stress
worldwide. Thus, increased drought tolerance has been a major goal of maize breeding …

Keymessage Two hub genes GRMZM2G075104 and GRMZM2G333183 involved in salt
tolerance were identified by GWAS and WGCNA. Furthermore, they were verified to affect …

High yield and wide adaptation are principal targets of wheat breeding but are hindered by
limited knowledge on genetic basis of agronomic traits and abiotic stress tolerances. In this …

A variety of adverse conditions including drought stress severely affect rice production. Root
system plays a critical role in drought avoidance, which is one of the major mechanisms of …

Water deficits are a major constraint on maize growth and yield, and deep roots are one of
the major mechanisms of drought tolerance. In this study, four root and shoot traits were …

Under all environments, roots are important for plant anchorage and acquiring water and
nutrients. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding how root architecture contributes to …

Reliance on agriculture for food security is a constant in all modern societies. Global climate
change and population growth have put immense pressure on sustainable agriculture …
