This paper develops a method to isolate holocellulose nanofibrils that preserves native cellulose-xylan architecture, leading to high-performance sustainable materials.

The paper develops wheat chromosome segment substitution lines to capture genetic variation from progenitor species and assesses their utility for trait localization.

The paper uses multi-trait genomic prediction models and simulations to show that complex trait genetic architecture improves long-term genetic gains in wheat breeding.

The paper analyzes haplotype diversity and genetic associations in wheat breeding lines to understand polygenic trait architecture and breeding implications.

This study evaluates how training population design affects genomic prediction accuracy in wheat, finding that larger training sets and related crosses improve prediction accuracy.
