Genome-wide association study reveals marker-trait associations for key agronomic and grain quality traits in durum wheat under rainfed and irrigated conditions in Turkish environments

Genome wide association mapping and haplotype analysis identify genetic loci and candidate genes associated with yield related traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple crops worldwide, and improving grain yield remains a major objective of rice breeding programs. Yield is a complex quantitative trait influenced by multiple agronomic characteristics, including grain yield per plant (GY), seed setting rate (SSR), plant height (...

Genome wide association mapping of yield and agro-morphological traits under drought and heat stress in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Genome-Wide Association Studies of Agronomic and Yield Traits in Sweet Corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata)

Sweet corn is a globally important dual-purpose crop for both food and fresh vegetables. The plant architecture and ear-related traits directly determine its yield potential and field ecological adaptability. To elucidate the genetic architecture of these traits and identify superior alleles for breeding, we conducted...

Genetic Variability, Broad-Sense Heritability, and Trait Associations of Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Across Multiple Environments in Kenya

Aims: This study evaluated phenotypic variation and genotypic differences, estimated broad-sense heritability for grain yield, and examined associations among agronomic traits in five bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes comprising two parental cultivars and three mutation-derived lines. Study Design: Randomise...

Multi-Season Multi-Model GWAS Prioritizes Stable Genomic Loci and Candidate Genes for Six Agronomic Traits in Soybean Under Conditions in Southeastern Kazakhstan

Reliable identification of genomic regions controlling complex agronomic traits across variable growing seasons remains a major challenge in soybean genetics and breeding. Here, a diverse panel of 252 soybean accessions was evaluated over six consecutive growing seasons (2018–2023) for flowering time, maturity, plant h...

Multi-Environment Multi-Locus Association Mapping Reveals Genomic Regions for Drought-Related Traits in Tropical Maize.

Maize grain yield is frequently constrained by water scarcity, particularly in tropical regions characterized by irregular rainfall patterns. Dissecting the genetic basis of drought-related traits remains challenging because their expression is strongly influenced by environmental conditions. In this study, we applied...
