Abstract Cotton (Gossypium spp.), an economically and strategically significant crop in
China, faces challenges such as rising cultivation costs and conflicts between grain and …

Melon is an economically important crop with widely diverse fruit morphology and ripening
characteristics. Its diploid sequenced genome and multiple genomic tools make this species …

Key message QTLs for growth habit are identified on Arahy. 15 and Arahy. 06 in peanut, and
diagnostic markers are developed and validated for further use in marker-assisted breeding …

Plant height, petiole length, and the angle of the leaf petiole and branch angles are crucial
traits determining plant architecture and yield in soybean (Glycine max L.). Here, we …

Shoot architecture refers to the three-dimensional body plan of the above ground organs of
the plant. The patterning of this body plan results from the tight genetic control of the size …

Key message Here, a novel pleiotropic QTL qSS14 simultaneously regulating four seed size
traits and two consistently detected QTLs qSW17 and qSLW02 were identified across …

Three-dimensional (3D) phenotyping is important for studying plant structure and function.
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has gained prominence in 3D plant phenotyping due to …

Early canopy coverage is a desirable trait that is a major determinant of yield in soybean
(Glycine max). Variation in traits comprising shoot architecture can influence canopy …

Introduction Branching angle is an essential trait in determining the planting density of
rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and hence the yield per unit area. However, the mechanism of …
