This study evaluates the use of environmental and genomic data to identify climate-adaptive maize varieties, finding that genomic data better predict yield traits than environmental data alone.

This paper introduces Origin Specific Genomic Selection (OSGS) to improve the introgression of beneficial exotic alleles in crop breeding by partitioning marker effects based on allele origin.

This study identifies genes underlying flowering time adaptation in maize landraces by integrating genomic mapping and association analysis across multiple environments.
