Abstract Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) allow observation and reporting of global
biodiversity change, but a detailed framework for the empirical derivation of specific EBVs …

Metabolomics is the study of global metabolite profiles in a system (cell, tissue, or organism)
under a given set of conditions. The analysis of the metabolome is particularly challenging …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a dry season food legume largely grown on residual soil
moisture after the rainy season. The crop often experiences moisture stress towards end of …

This paper summarizes results from a decade of collaborative research using advanced
backcross (AB) populations to a) identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with …

The unpredictability of drought patterns and the inherent complexity of the physiological
responses involved have made it difficult to characterize component traits required for …

Information on crop pedigrees can be used to help maximise genetic gain in crop breeding
and allow efficient management of genetic resources. We present a pedigree resource of …

Ambiguous germplasm identification; difficulty in tracing pedigree information; and lack of
integration between genetic resources, characterization, breeding, evaluation, and …

Rice genetic improvement is a key component of achieving and maintaining food security in
Asia and Africa in the face of growing populations and climate change. In this effort, the …

GnpIS is a data repository for plant phenomics that stores whole field and greenhouse
experimental data including environment measures. It allows long-term access to datasets …

Recent advances in understanding molecular and physiological mechanisms of abiotic
stress responses, along with breakthroughs in molecular marker technologies, have …
