Background DNA markers improved the productivity and accuracy of classical plant
breeding by means of marker-assisted selection (MAS). The enormous number of …

Current agricultural and food systems encourage research and development on major
crops, neglecting regionally important minor crops. Small millets include a group of small …

Setaria italica (foxtail millet), a founder crop of East Asian agriculture, is a model plant for C4
photosynthesis and develo** approaches to adaptive breeding across multiple climates …

The ancestors of Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium herbaceum provided the A
subgenome for the modern cultivated allotetraploid cotton. Here, we upgraded the G …

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is an important crop species and an emerging model plant for
C4 grasses. However, functional genomics research on foxtail millet is challenging because …

Genetic and environmental factors collectively determine plant growth and yield. In the past
20 years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted on crops to …

Upland cotton is the most important natural-fiber crop. The genomic variation of diverse
germplasms and alleles underpinning fiber quality and yield should be extensively explored …

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) can be a powerful tool for the identification of
genes associated with agronomic traits in crop species, but it is often hindered by population …

Abstract Background Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is one of the most important oil and
protein crops. Ever-increasing soybean consumption necessitates the improvement of …

High‐density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genoty** arrays are a powerful tool
for studying genomic patterns of diversity, inferring ancestral relationships between …
