Mapping the genetic architecture of flowering and maturity in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] using multi-locus genome-wide association studies under Ethiopian conditions

Genome-wide association study of diverse soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] accessions for agronomic and seed composition traits in Rwanda

This research explored the genetic basis of adaptation for soybean to the low-latitude but high-elevation production regions in Rwanda. Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is an increasingly important crop in Rwanda; however, production remains constrained by limited availability of high-yielding, locally adapted cultiv...

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...

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-trait model-based assessment of selection efficiency and stability in soybean germplasm.

Identification of markers for yield and yield-related traits using association mapping analysis in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under rainfed conditions

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain yield is determined by multiple factors, including ideal plant architecture, appropriate flowering time and adaptability to diverse agro-climatic conditions. However, inadequate water availability in major rice-growing regions has led to increased incidence of drought and other abiotic stre...

Evaluation of Morphological Traits, Yield Performance and Genetic Variability of Soybean (Glycine max L.) Genotypes in the Madhupur Tract of Bangladesh

Soybean improvement depends on the identification of genetically diverse germplasm with superior agronomic performance. This study evaluated the phenotypic diversity, yield potential, and genetic variability of a large and diverse panel of 278 soybean genotypes under the agro-ecological conditions of the Madhupur Tract...
