Genetic variation

  1. Wheat heat-tolerance traits map to many genomic loci
    Genetic dissection of yield traits and heat tolerance in wheat using a MAGIC population identifies SNPs and major loci informing heat-resilient breeding strategies.
  2. Rapid evolution predicted recovery after drought
    Wild plant populations evolve rapidly during drought, and genetic variation at adaptive loci predicts demographic recovery. Study demonstrates evolutionary rescue in natural conditions.
  3. Human and bacterial genetics shape oral microbiome variation
    Study of 12,519 individuals reveals how human genetic variants control oral microbiome composition and link to tooth decay risk through salivary enzyme abundance.
  4. Advanced barley lines showed greater stability than local landraces
    Evaluation of grain quality traits and genotype stability across Mediterranean environments in advanced barley lines and landraces. High heritability and trait correlations identified.
  5. Amaranth seed protein composition mapped across environments
    Multi-environment GWAS identifies stable genomic loci and regulatory mechanisms controlling seed protein composition in grain amaranth, revealing trans-regulatory control of protein fractions.
  6. Molecular markers improved garlic characterization and conservation
    Explore how molecular markers advance garlic genetic characterization and conservation, from early markers to high-resolution platforms enabling cultivar identification and breeding innovation.
  7. Wheat genotypes showed location-specific heat tolerance and genetic diversity
    Study evaluating heat tolerance and genetic diversity in 25 wheat genotypes using Heat Susceptibility Index and SSR/STS markers across two locations under different sowing conditions.
