Genome-wide mapping and prediction of plant architecture in a sorghum nested association mapping population

The paper identifies quantitative trait loci (QTL) for plant architecture traits in sorghum using a nested association mapping population and evaluates genomic prediction accuracy.

Dissecting adaptive traits with nested association mapping: Genetic architecture of inflorescence morphology in sorghum

This study identifies genetic factors controlling inflorescence morphology in sorghum using nested association mapping, revealing QTL associated with precipitation adaptation.

Genetic Architecture of Chilling Tolerance in Sorghum Dissected with a Nested Association Mapping Population

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with chilling tolerance in sorghum using nested association mapping and finds some loci co-localize with historically selected genes.

Epistasis detection and modeling for genomic selection in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata. L. Walp.)

This study characterizes epistatic genetic architecture in cowpea using a MAGIC population and evaluates genomic selection models, finding that epistasis significantly impacts traits and improves prediction accuracy.
