This paper identifies Raw7 as a second gene controlling barley awn roughness, showing epistatic interaction with Raw1, and proposes a cytokinin signaling pathway mechanism.

The paper identifies root-microbiome associations affecting plant nitrogen nutrition through multi-omics analyses of 1,341 rapeseed samples.

This study introduces hQTL-ODS, a one-dimensional scan method for detecting heterotic QTLs, showing improved computational efficiency and reduced false positives in wheat hybrids.

The paper analyzes the genetic composition and history of the bread wheat D genome using a pangenome of its donor species, revealing contributions from discrete subpopulations of Aegilops tauschii.

The paper investigates how host genotype and source environment influence the microbiome of maize, finding genetic variants linked to microbiome composition and environmental adaptation.

This study benchmarks 33 GWAS algorithms to evaluate their performance in identifying QTLs across plant species and simulated data.

The paper uses genomic prediction on historical wheat data to identify donor genotypes with high protein and lysine content for pre-breeding programs.

This study uses genomics-informed parent selection to identify high-yielding wheat parents from genetic resources, which outperform current elite cultivars in field trials.

This study analyzes genome sequences of 2,214 soybeans to trace its evolutionary history, identifying four geographic expansion paths and local adaptation mechanisms.
