Crop improvement is a multifaceted micro-evolutionary process, involving changes in breeding approaches, planting configurations and consumption preferences of human beings.
As a major intemational effort to understand the nature of the genetic diversity within O.sativa, a core collection of 3,011 riceaccessions from 89 countries were re-sequenced with an average sequenci
With the advent of high-throughput and low-cost genotyping techniques, a large number of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are performed to dissect genetic architecture of agronomic traits in cro
Asparagus bean (Vigna unguiculata ssp.sesquipedalis) is the Asian subspecies of cowpea (Vigna.unguiculata), a drought-resistant legume crop native to Africa.
Although the genetic diversity in wild rice species was investigated, a fine genetic map of wild rice genome variation has not been constructed due to its complicated heterozygous form.
MAPK cascades have been implicated in diverse cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, proliferation, programed cell death and in responses to diversity of hormones and stresses.
