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

Inability to efficiently implement high-throughput field phenoty** is increasingly perceived
as a key component that limits genetic gain in breeding programs. Field phenoty** must …

The origins of maize were the topic of vigorous debate for nearly a century, but neither the
current genetic model nor earlier archaeological models account for the totality of available …

The intensive application of inorganic nitrogen underlies marked increases in crop
production, but imposes detrimental effects on ecosystems,: it is therefore crucial for future …

The maize root system has been reshaped by indirect selection during global adaptation to
new agricultural environments. In this study, we characterized the root systems of more than …

Research in the past decade has demonstrated that a single reference genome is not
representative of a species' diversity. MaizeGDB introduces a pan-genomic approach to …

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 …

Big datasets, accumulated from biomedical and agronomic studies, provide the potential to
identify genes that control complex human diseases and agriculturally important traits …

Soil flooding creates composite and complex stress in plants known as either submergence
or waterlogging stress depending on the depth of the water table. In nature, these stresses …

We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-
genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate …
