Elemental Accumulation in Kernels of the Maize Nested Association Mapping Panel Reveals Signals of Gene by Environment Interactions

The paper measures elemental accumulation in maize kernels across environments and identifies genetic loci associated with elemental traits using QTL and GWAS.

High fidelity detection of crop biomass QTL from low-cost imaging in the field

This paper develops a low-cost imaging system to detect biomass QTLs in field-grown crops, matching results from destructive methods.

Forward genetics by sequencing EMS variation induced inbred lines.

This paper identifies a gene responsible for dwarfism in sorghum by sequencing EMS mutagenized lines and finding a cosegregating non-synonymous mutation that causes a premature stop codon in the ent-kaurene oxidase gene.

The Interaction of Genotype and Environment Determines Variation in the Maize Kernel Ionome

The paper investigates genotype by environment interactions affecting elemental accumulation in maize kernels using a recombinant inbred population across multiple environments.

Canopy position has a profound effect on soybean seed composition

This study shows that soybean seeds from different canopy positions have varying compositions, with lower canopy seeds having higher iron content, offering a way to improve nutrition through targeted harvesting.

Integration of experiments across diverse environments identifies the genetic determinants of variation in Sorghum bicolor seed element composition

High-throughput measurements of element accumulation and genome-wide association analysis across multiple environments identified novel alleles controlling seed element accumulation in Sorghum bicolor.
