Identifying loci with breeding potential across temperate and tropical adaptation via EigenGWAS and EnvGWAS
(Wiley, 2019)
Understanding the genomic basis of adaptation in maize is important for gene discovery and the improvement of breeding germplasm, but much remains a mystery in spite of significant population genetics and archaeological ...

Importance of considering technology growth in impact assessments of climate change on agriculture
(Elsevier, 2019)
Many assessments of climate change impacts on global crop yields project declines as early as the 2020s. Losses are projected to increase with time, up to 50% by the 2080s. We carry out a systematic global review and compare ...

An R Package for Bayesian analysis of multi-environment and multi-trait multi-environment data for genome-based prediction
(Genetics Society of America, 2019)
Evidence that genomic selection (GS) is a technology that is revolutionizing plant breeding continues to grow. However, it is very well documented that its success strongly depends on statistical models, which are used by ...

New deep learning genomic-based prediction model for multiple traits with binary, ordinal, and continuous phenotypes
(Genetics Society of America, 2019)
Multiple-trait experiments with mixed phenotypes (binary, ordinal and continuous) are not rare in animal and plant breeding programs. However, there is a lack of statistical models that can exploit the correlation between ...

Dissecting conserved cis-regulatory modules of Glu-1 promoters which confer the highly active endosperm-specific expression via stable wheat transformation
(Elsevier, 2019)
Wheat high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) determine dough elasticity and play an essential role in processing quality. HMW-GS are encoded by Glu-1 genes and controlled primarily at transcriptional level, ...

Economic impact of maize stem borer (Chilo partellus) attack on livelihood of maize farmers in Pakistan
(Life Sciences Society, 2019)
Maize is third important cereal in Pakistan after wheat and rice. The demand of maize is increasing due to poultry and other industries. However the maize crop is faced with number of challenges especially the attack of ...

Scale-appropriate mechanization impacts on productivity among smallholders: evidence from rice systems in the mid-hills of Nepal
(Elsevier, 2019)
Smallholder farmers in the mid-hills of Nepal are facing an acute labor shortage due to out-migration which, in general, has affected the capacity to achieve timely crop establishment, harvest, and inter-cultural operations. ...

QTL mapping for micronutrients concentration and yield component traits in a hexaploid wheat mapping population
(Elsevier, 2019)
Bread wheat is a major staple cereal provides more than 20% of dietary energy and protein supply to global population. However, with increasing population growth, the problem of nutritional deficiencies is increasingly ...
