The paper analyzes the blackgrass genome to understand the genetic basis of non-target site herbicide resistance and its evolutionary mechanisms.

The paper develops a workflow to generate high-quality SNP genotypic data for apple, peach, and sweet cherry using pedigree records and inheritance principles, resulting in curated haploblock data sets.

The paper estimates genomic heritability in sweet cherry, finding non-additive genetic variance is significant for key traits, and highlights the importance of including these components in breeding models.
