There is tremendous interest in using association mapping to identify genes responsible for
quantitative variation of complex traits with agricultural and evolutionary importance. Recent …

During the past decade, numerous studies have been published on molecular mapping of
Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in wheat. We summarize the relevant findings from …

The objective of this research was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and to
develop an Illumina Infinium BeadChip that contained over 50,000 SNPs from soybean …

Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on linkage disequilibrium
(LD) provide a promising tool for the detection and fine mapping of quantitative trait loci …

Advances in molecular biology including genomics, high-throughput sequencing, and
genome editing enable increasingly faster and more precise cultivar development …

Association mapping through linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis is a powerful tool for the
dissection of complex agronomic traits and for the identification of alleles that can contribute …

A newly developed maize Illumina GoldenGate Assay with 1536 SNPs from 582 loci was
used to genotype a highly diverse global maize collection of 632 inbred lines from …

The domestication of cereals has involved common changes in morphological features,
such as seed size, seed retention and modification of vegetative and inflorescence …

We compared the accuracies of four genomic-selection prediction methods as affected by
marker density, level of linkage disequilibrium (LD), quantitative trait locus (QTL) number …

Elite cultivated crop gene pools of the Triticeae tribe (wheat, barley and rye) exhibit limited
genetic diversity, raising concerns about our ability to increase or simply sustain crop yield …
