Genomewide marker information can improve the reliability of breeding value predictions for young selection candidates in genomic selection. However, the cost of genotyping limits its use to elite animals, and how such ...

This study was carried out to evaluate the agronomic traits, nutritional value and in vitro fermentation kinetics of whole plant and leaf and stem fractions of pearl millet genotypes BRS 1501, CMS 1, CMS and J 3 1188 at ...

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are one of the major pests of agricultural crops worldwide. In Brazil, these nematodes are widely distributed in melon fields, and there are no reports of resistant melon cultivars. ...

Background: QTL mapping through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is challenging, especially in the case of low heritability complex traits and when few animals possess genotypic and phenotypic information. When most ...

In order to better understand and explore the genotype-environment interaction (GEI) in plant breeding, the development of new methods for adaptability and stability analysis, as well as the improvement of existing ones, ...
