The mechanisation of agriculture has achieved major increases in labour productivity but has also led to an erosion of agrobiodiversity. Neglected and underutilized crops such as common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) offer the potential to diversify food production systems but require major genetic improvement...
In many flowering plants, self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetically controlled recognition system that prevents self-fertilization, thereby promoting outcrossing and maintaining genetic diversity within populations. The gametophytic SI system in grasses (Poaceae) is governed by two multiallelic loci, S and Z, each loc...

The first NAM population established in the outcrossing forage grass species Italian ryegrass is presented, to dissect the genetic control of seed shattering and demonstrate the effectiveness of NAM populations for elucidating the genetic architecture of complex traits in outcrossing forage grasses.

Introduction Neglected and underutilized crops have great potential to diversify agroecosystems and human diets but require genetic improvement to make them economically viable alternatives to major crops. Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is valued for its excellent nutritional quality, its ecological imp...

The variation in stomatal density in a diverse apple population consisting of 269 accessions is investigated to provide a foundation for understanding SD variation at the population scale and opportunities to modulate SD by genomics-assisted breeding strategies.
