Warming and drought are reducing global crop production with a potential to substantially
worsen global malnutrition. As with the green revolution in the last century, plant genetics …

Studying the genetics of adaptation to new environments in ecologically and industrially
important tree species is currently a major research line in the fields of plant science and …

Common bean is an important legume crop having high quality protein, micronutrients,
vitamins and antioxidants, which makes it a “grain of hope” for poor communities. Hence, a …

Heat tolerance is a physiologically and genetically complex trait regulated by multiple
genes. To investigate the genetic basis of heat tolerance, eight parents (five lines and three …

Molecular evolution offers an insightful theory to interpret the genomic consequences of
thermal adaptation to previous events of climate change beyond range shifts. However …

Heat and drought are major stresses that significantly reduce seed yield of the common
bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). In turn, this affects the profitability of the crop in climatic …

Grafting typically offers a shortcut to breed tree orchards throughout a multidimensional
space of traits. Despite an overwhelming spectrum of rootstock-mediated effects on scion …

Leveraging innovative tools to speed up prebreeding and discovery of genotypic sources of
adaptation from landraces, crop wild relatives, and orphan crops is a key prerequisite to …

Understanding the role of the host genome in modulating microbiota variation is a need to
shed light on the holobiont theory and overcome the current limits on the description of host …

Some of the largest impacts of climate change are expected in the environmentally
heterogeneous and species rich high mountain ecosystems. Among those, the Neotropical …
