The paper examines bacterial communities associated with winter pea cultivars in Pacific Northwest soils, finding that root and nodule microbiomes are influenced by environmental factors and plant genotype.

The paper estimates effective population size (Ne) in pea using linkage disequilibrium, finding higher Ne in the USDA diversity panel compared to NDSU breeding lines.

This study shows that multi-trait genomic selection with sparse phenotyping improves prediction accuracy for seed mineral concentrations in pea compared to univariate genomic selection.

The paper evaluates genomic prediction models on pea germplasm to improve selection efficiency using SNP markers and phenotypic data.
