Biological functions, resource availability, and evolutionary processes often play a key role in determining the expression of genetic traits and their correlations. In fact, several plant traits are ...

Prostrate growth habit is a highly desirable plant architecture trait that enhances lodging resistance, landscape coverage, and ornamental value.

Detecting genetic variants associated with the variance of complex traits, that is, variance quantitative trait loci (vQTLs), can provide crucial insights into the interplay between genes and ...

AMES, Iowa – Understanding how both environmental conditions and genetic makeup affect crops is essential to developing varieties that are more resilient and productive. But the intricate interplay ...

Researchers aim to boost accuracy of National Cattle Evaluation with earlier-in-life weights. AMARILLO, Texas — Incorporating ...

An international study led by researchers at Uppsala University (Sweden) in collaboration with researchers at The University of Queensland (Australia) and Princeton University (NJ, USA) used ...

The interplay between the genetic makeup of crops and the conditions in which they grow is difficult to untangle. A research team aims to help breeders analyze the interactions to make crops more ...
