Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a powerful approach to dissect genotype-phenotype associations and identify causative regions. However, this power is highly influenced by the accuracy of the phenotypic data. To obtain accurate phenotypic...
This data paper describes the content of four datasets col- lected by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) as a partner in the project “Designing InnoVative plant teams for Ecosystem Resilience and agricultural...
In recent times, community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) have been advocated as the best strategy for genetic improvement of local breeds in smallholder farms in developing countries. Since 2009, CBBPs have been...
Genetic improvement programme will only be successful when accompanied by a good understanding of
the influence of different environmental factors, knowledge of the genetic parameters and the genetic
relationships between the traits of interest. This...
Cassava is the most important smallholder cash crops in Southeast Asia and is especially used in industrial products. Yet, systematic genetic studies on molecular markers from Vietnamese germplasm have not been considered for breeding and...
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the most important edible crops in tropical and subtropical regions. Recently, invasive insect pests and diseases have resulted in serious losses to cassava in Southeast Asia. In this review we discuss the...
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is one of the most destructive diseases of wheat (Triticum aes- tivum L.) worldwide causing huge yield losses every year. Development and deployment of resistant varieties is the most...
