Cannabis labelling is associated with genetic variation in terpene synthase genes.

Analysis of over 100 Cannabis samples quantified for terpene and cannabinoid content and genotyped for over 100,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms indicated that Sativa- and Indica-labelled samples were genetically indistinct on a genome-wide scale. Instead, we found that Cannabis labelling was associated with variation in a small number of terpenes whose concentrations are controlled by genetic variation at tandem arrays of terpene synthase genes.

Application of image-based phenotyping tools to identify QTL for in-field winter survival of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Genome-wide association on winter survival was conducted using data from image-based phenotyping method. Nine QTL were observed and three of them with candidate gene identified. Winter survival is an essential trait of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.

Prediction of Cacao () Resistance to spp. Diseases via Genome-Wide Association Analysis and Genomic Selection.

Cacao () is a globally important crop, and its yield is severely restricted by disease. Two of the most damaging diseases, witches' broom disease (WBD) and frosty pod rot disease (FPRD), are caused by a pair of related fungi: and , respectively. Resistant cultivars are the most effective long-term strategy to address diseases, but efficiently generating resistant and productive new cultivars will require robust methods for screening germplasm before field testing.
