Increasing the ability to investigate plant functions and structure through non-invasive
methods with high accuracy has become a major target in plant breeding and precision …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) local varieties are having an increasing demand. We
characterized 69 local tomato accessions from eight cultivar groups for proximate …

Increased interest toward traditional tomato varieties is fueled by the need to rescue
desirable organoleptic traits and to improve the quality of fresh and processed tomatoes in …

Bambara groundnut has significant role to play in terms of food security, even though
researchers in agriculture have paid very little attention to the crop in the past. This study …

Romania has a wide variety of local landraces and heirloom genotypes. Our study aims to
assess the performance of twenty halotolerant tomato landraces, collected from areas with …

Long shelf-life tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) landraces, characterized by carrying the alc
allele in the NOR. NAC locus, have been traditionally cultivated in the Mediterranean region …

Although grafting has become an effective tool to enhance many traits in horticultural crops,
its role in improving the performance of local landraces is yet to be proven. The aim of this …

In the past years, the diversity of Capsicum has been mainly investigated through genetics
and genomics approaches, fewer efforts have been made in the field of plant phenomics …

Selection of high-performance lines with respect to traits of interest is a key step in plant
breeding. Genomic prediction allows to determine the genomic estimated breeding values of …

Eggplant fruit shape is an important quantitative agronomic trait. The use of introgression
lines (ILs) for QTLs identification is a powerful tool for the elucidation of the genetic control of …
