The identification and isolation of genes underlying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated
with agronomic traits in crops have been recently accelerated thanks to next-generation …

Legumes play a vital role in ensuring global nutritional food security and improving soil
quality through nitrogen fixation. Accelerated higher genetic gains is required to meet the …

As an increasing number of plant genome sequences become available, it is clear that gene
content varies between individuals, and the challenge arises to predict the gene content of a …

Legume crops such as chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut, mostly grown in marginal
environments, are the major source of nutrition and protein to the human population in Asia …

A combination of two approaches, namely QTL analysis and gene enrichment analysis were
used to identify candidate genes in the “QTL-hotspot” region for drought tolerance present …
