Mining genomic regions associated with agronomic and biochemical traits in quinoa through GWAS
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), an Andean crop, is a facultative halophyte food crop recognized globally for its high nutritional value and plasticity to adapt to harsh conditions. We conducted a genome-wide association study on a diverse...
Genetic diversity analysis of Azerbaijani bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes with simple sequence repeat markers linked to drought tolerance
Water stress causes large agricultural losses worldwide and deteriorates its quality. Drought tolerance in plants is a complex trait governed by multigenes and infleunce of various environmental factors affecting the expression of these genes...
Genomic selection in plant breeding: Key factors shaping two decades of progress
Genomic selection, the application of genomic prediction (GP) models to select candidate individuals, has significantly advanced in the past two decades, effectively accelerating genetic gains in plant breeding. This article provides a holistic...
Novel Genome-Editing Approaches for Developing Non-GM Crops for Sustainable Improvement and the Mitigation of Climate Changes
The utilization of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas-based genome-editing technologies holds significant promise in the realm of crop genome manipulation since it enables precise modifications and expedites...
Evaluating Flock Dynamics, Offtake-rate, and Farmers’ Perception on Benefits of Community Based Breeding Program in Doyogena District, Central Ethiopia
The community-based breeding program (CBBP) is currently active in implementing indigenous breed improvement strategies to achieve genetic progress, economic benefits, and livelihood improvements for smallholders in the pioneer sheep breed...
Chapter 8 - Lentil genome sequencing: Establishing a comprehensive platform for molecular breeding
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important cool season food legume crop. It has a large and complex genome. Sequencing of the genome is important to enrich lentil crops with genomic resources for molecular breeding. During past years...
Surveying and mapping cereals and legumes wild relatives in Mount Hermon (Bekaa, Lebanon)
Crop Wild Relatives (CWR) should be highly prioritized, monitored, and conserved as they have an immense effect on sustainability and livelihood. In this study we aim to survey and map cereal and legume wild relatives of Fabaceae and Poaceae...
