Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

Appropriate root system architecture (RSA) can improve maize yields in densely planted
fields, but little is known about its genetic basis in maize. Here we performed root …

An ordered draft sequence of the 17-gigabase hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum)
genome has been produced by sequencing isolated chromosome arms. We have annotated …

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

Maize is one of the most important crops globally, and it shows remarkable genetic diversity.
Knowledge of this diversity could help in crop improvement; however, gold-standard …

High-throughput genotyping arrays continue to be an attractive, cost-effective alternative to
sequencing based approaches. We have developed a new 50k Illumina Infinium iSelect …

Global food demand is expected to nearly double by 2050 due to an increase in the world's
population. The Green Revolution has played a key role in the past century by increasing …

There is a rapidly rising trend in the development and application of molecular marker
assays for gene mapping and discovery in field crops and trees. Thus far, more than 50 SNP …

Natural variants of crops are generated from wild progenitor plants under both natural and
human selection. Diverse crops that are able to adapt to various environmental conditions …
