This paper uses whole-genome resequencing to analyze diversity and structure in crimson clover and develops a mid-density SNP capture panel for breeding applications.

This study evaluates how polyploidy and genetic background affect annual ryegrass responses to climate stress, finding that wild populations can match cultivars in productivity under elevated CO2 and reduced water.

This study identifies genetic variants linked to heat tolerance in cowpea using envGWAS and allele frequency outlier analysis across 580 accessions, highlighting the association between high temperature and low precipitation traits.

This study uses random regression models to analyze longitudinal dry matter yield data from perennial forage species, identifying genotype adaptability and stability through reaction norms.

This study evaluates genomic prediction in family bulks for loblolly pine, finding that GWFP outperforms individual GEBV predictions and is suitable for breeding programs using family-level selection.

This study performs GWAS on cowpea to identify SNPs associated with flowering time, finding seven SNPs explaining 8-12% of phenotypic variance and linking them to candidate genes.
