Abstract Background Drought intensity and frequency are increasing under global warming in the boreal forests, and breeding for drought resistance will facilitate adaptation of new planting material to changing climate c...

Finite mixture models are helpful for uncovering heterogeneity due to hidden structure; for example, unknown major genes. The first part of this article gives examples and reviews quantitative genetics issues of continuo...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the most important crops globally. Researchers have focused on enhancing soybean through genetic modification, leading to an extensive accumulation of publications and patents. ...

Abstract Among oilseeds crops, Brassica napus L., is of great importance globally. The economic yield and harvest efficiency are significantly limited by seed shattering, which represents a persistent agronomic constrain...

Abstract We conducted a Phenome-Wide Association Study (PheWAS) to investigate whether alleles previously shown to be associated with problem behaviors in Labrador Retrievers from the U.S. Transportation Security Adminis...

Abstract Background Zanthoxylum armatum is a vital economic crop in China, but its cultivation is challenged by abiotic stresses like drought and cold. Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs) are central signal...

The HMGA1 (High Mobility Group AT-hook 1) gene is considered a candidate locus for growth- and fatness-related traits in pigs due to its involvement in transcriptional regulation and energy metabolism and its localizatio...

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies based on GBLUP models are a common practice in animal breeding. However, effect sizes of GWA tests are small, requiring larger sample sizes to enhance power of detection of rare vari...
