The paper develops an open-pollinated genetic mapping framework for apples to identify QTL, showing that MLMM outperforms MLM and demonstrating the feasibility of OP-based mapping for faster QTL discovery.

This study examines competitive dynamics in maize varieties and finds limited competition effects, no yield penalty in mixtures, and increased yield stability.

The paper evaluates genomic prediction for general combining ability in canola hybrids using different cross-validation strategies and finds varying predictive abilities across traits.

The paper identifies genes under relaxed selection in cassava due to clonal propagation, highlighting pollen-related genes and their implications for breeding.

This study uses multi-spectral imaging to estimate genetic parameters of biomass accumulation and model growth curve stability in alfalfa across different irrigation treatments and cultivars.

The paper improves genomic prediction of agronomic traits in maize by integrating spatio-temporal modeling of multi-spectral aerial images with genetic data.

The paper applies genomic selection to sugar kelp with a biphasic life cycle, predicting breeding values for gametophytes and achieving moderate prediction accuracy for yield and morphology traits.

The paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the Practical Haplotype Graph for genotype imputation in the highly heterozygous crop cassava, achieving higher accuracy than Beagle.

This study simulates sugar kelp breeding to identify obstacles to genetic gain and suggests strategies to improve breeding efficiency.

This study analyzes the population genetics of sugar kelp in the Northwest Atlantic using genome-wide markers to assess genetic diversity and detect selection signatures.

The paper proposes a hybrid optimal contribution approach to balance short-term genetic gains with long-term sustainability in plant breeding programs.

The paper benchmarks six open-source database systems for genomic selection, finding that HDF5 outperforms others in data extraction speed due to efficient allele matrix handling.
