Including marker x environment interactions improves genomic prediction in red clover ( L.).

Genomic prediction has mostly been used in single environment contexts, largely ignoring genotype x environment interaction, which greatly affects the performance of plants. However, in the last decade, prediction models including marker x environment (MxE) interaction have been developed. We evaluated the potential of genomic prediction in red clover ( L.

Multi-location trials and population-based genotyping reveal high diversity and adaptation to breeding environments in a large collection of red clover.

Red clover ( L.) is an outcrossing forage legume that has adapted to a wide range of climatic and growing conditions across Europe. Red clover is valued for its high yield potential and its forage quality.

Haplotypes at the Locus Are Determining Pathotype-Specificity of Angular Leaf Spot Resistance in Common Bean.

Angular leaf spot (ALS) is one of the most devastating diseases of common bean ( L.) and causes serious yield losses worldwide. ALS resistance is reportedly pathotype-specific, but little is known about the efficacy of resistance loci against different pathotypes.

A Review of Angular Leaf Spot Resistance in Common Bean.

Angular leaf spot (ALS), caused by , is one of the most devastating diseases of common bean ( L.) in tropical and subtropical production areas. Breeding for ALS resistance is difficult due to the extensive virulence diversity of and the recurrent appearance of new virulent races.

TILLING in forage grasses for gene discovery and breeding improvement.

Mutation breeding has a long-standing history and in some major crop species, many of the most important cultivars have their origin in germplasm generated by mutation induction. For almost two decades, methods for TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) have been established in model plant species such as Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana L.), enabling the functional analysis of genes.
