The paper evaluates protein and amino acid concentration in lentils using NIRS and genome-wide association analyses to identify markers for breeding improvements.

The paper uses GWAS on latent variable phenotypes from multi-environment trials to identify flowering time genes and QTL in lentil, enhancing understanding of phenology-related traits.

This study evaluates genomic selection models for lentil breeding using empirical data, finding that single-trait models perform well without large effect QTL, while models accounting for GEI and multiple traits improve accuracy for low heritability traits.
