This study identifies low-methane Napier grass accessions with good digestibility under varying environmental conditions through phenotyping and multi-trait selection.

This study analyzes genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of 545 Urochloa species accessions using SNP and SilicoDArT markers, revealing distinct clades and admixture patterns in cultivated and wild species.

This study maps genome-wide associations for grain and forage quality traits in a subtropical oat germplasm collection, identifying SNPs and candidate genes linked to yield and resilience.

This study identifies genomic loci associated with agronomic and grain traits in tef, revealing novel marker-trait associations and retrotransposon effects on grain color and size.

This study resequences 450 Napier grass individuals to assess genetic diversity and identify QTL for yield and feed quality traits.

This paper uses population genomics to identify QTLs and SNPs associated with agronomic traits in lablab, aiming to improve its productivity for forage crops in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This study identifies MaUGT79 as a gene regulating scopolin biosynthesis, which enhances drought tolerance in plants through ROS scavenging and transcriptional activation by MaMYB4.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Lablab purpureus, a neglected crop, and reports on its domestication history and genetic diversity, offering a model for inclusive orphan crop genomics.
