Genomic selection (GS) facilitates the rapid selection of superior genotypes and accelerates
the breeding cycle. In this review, we discuss the history, principles, and basis of GS and …

More accurate and precise phenotyping strategies are necessary to empower high-
resolution linkage mapping and genome-wide association studies and for training genomic …

The wild relatives of domesticated crops possess genetic diversity useful for developing
more productive, nutritious and resilient crop varieties. However, their conservation status …

The narrowing of diversity in crop species contributing to the world's food supplies has been
considered a potential threat to food security. However, changes in this diversity have not …

Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) and single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) genotyping promise to greatly accelerate crop improvement if properly …

To address the multiple challenges to food security posed by global climate change,
population growth and rising incomes, plant breeders are developing new crop varieties that …

Rice is the world's most important staple grown by millions of small-holder farmers.
Sustaining rice production relies on the intelligent use of rice diversity. The 3,000 Rice …

Plant breeding can be broadly defined as alterations caused in plants as a result of their use
by humans, ranging from unintentional changes resulting from the advent of agriculture to …

The last several years have seen revolutionary advances in DNA sequencing technologies
with the advent of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) techniques. NGS methods now allow …

New sources of genetic diversity must be incorporated into plant breeding programs if they
are to continue increasing grain yield and quality, and tolerance to abiotic and biotic …
