Abstract Background Several conventional genomic Bayesian (or no Bayesian) prediction
methods have been proposed including the standard additive genetic effect model for which …

Highly efficient and accurate selection of elite genotypes can lead to dramatic shortening of
the breeding cycle in major crops relevant for sustaining present demands for food, feed …

Gene regulation is a central topic in cell biology. Advances in omics technologies and the
accumulation of omics data have provided better opportunities for gene regulation studies …

Prior to the availability of whole-genome sequences, our understanding of the structural and
functional aspects of Prunus tree genomes was limited mostly to molecular genetic map** …

Sugarcane is a major industrial crop cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the
world. It is the primary source of sugar worldwide, accounting for more than 70% of world …

Genomic prediction (GP) is the procedure whereby the genetic merits of untested candidates
are predicted using genome wide marker information. Although numerous examples of GP …

Polypoid species play significant roles in agriculture and food production. Many crop
species are polyploid, such as potato, wheat, strawberry, and sugarcane. Genoty** has …

Fruits of Fragaria species usually have an appealing bright red color due to the
accumulation of anthocyanins, water-soluble flavonoid pigments. Octoploid cultivated …

The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) is an allo-octoploid species, originating
nearly 300 years ago from wild progenitors from the Americas. Since that time the strawberry …

Crop genetic improvements catalysed population growth, which in turn has increased the
pressure for food security. We need to produce 70% more food to meet the demands of 9.5 …
