Article Synopsis
- Limited genetic diversity in lentil breeding programs in North America is due to adaptation constraints, highlighting the need for improved understanding of genetic traits related to flowering time.
- An extensive study was conducted using a dataset from 18 sites over 3 years, analyzing phenology traits in a lentil diversity panel of 324 accessions, which revealed both known and new flowering-time genes through genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
- The incorporation of environmental data in the analysis strengthened the findings and suggests potential roles of the identified quantitative trait loci (QTL), indicating that this approach could be applied to other crops as well.
