Motivation: Multi-parent populations (MPPs) are popular for QTL mapping because they combine wide genetic diversity in parents with easy control of population structure, but a limited number of software tools for QTL mapping are specifically developed for general MPP designs.
Results: We developed an R package called statgenMPP, adopting a unified identity-by-descent (IBD)-based mixed model approach for QTL analysis in MPPs. The package offers easy-to-use functionalities of IBD calculations, mixed model solutions and visualizations for QTL mapping in a wide range of MPP designs, including diallele, nested-association mapping populations, multi-parent advanced genetic inter-cross populations and other complicated MPPs with known crossing schemes.
Availability And Implementation: The R package statgenMPP is open-source and freely available on CRAN at https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=statgenMPP.
Supplementary Information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Total 60-QRC for FLM traits were detected by meta-genomics analysis, nine major and stable QTL identified by DH population and validated, and a novel QTL Qflw.sxau-6BL was fine mapped. The flag leaf is an "ideotypic" morphological trait providing photosynthetic assimilates in wheat.

Two dwarf bunt resistance QTLs were mapped to chromosome 6D, and KASP markers associated with the loci were developed and validated in a panel of regionally adapted winter wheats. UI Silver is an invaluable adapted resistant cultivar possessing the two identified QTL potentially associated with genes Bt9 and Bt10 and will be useful in future cultivar development to improve dwarf bunt resistance. Dwarf bunt, caused by Tilletia controversa, is a fungal disease of wheat that can cause complete loss of grain yield and quality during epidemics.

The whiteness of rice grains (WRG) is a key indicator of appearance quality, directly impacting its commercial value. The trait is quantitative, influenced by multiple factors, and no specific genes have been cloned to date. In this study, we first examined the correlation between the whiteness of polished rice, cooked rice, and rice flour, finding that the whiteness of rice flour significantly correlated with both polished and cooked rice.

Background: Sulfur (S) is a vital element for the normal growth and development of plants, performing crucial biological functions in various life processes.
Methods: This study investigated thirteen S utilization efficiency (SUE)-related traits at the seedling stage of wheat using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population. The quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were mapped by genetic mapping.
Combined Use of Univariate and Multivariate Approaches to Detect Selection Signatures Associated with Milk or Meat Production in Cattle.

Dipartimento di Agraria, Università degli Studi di Sassari, 07100 Sassari, Italy.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the genomic structure of the cattle breeds selected for meat and milk production and to identify selection signatures between them.
Methods: A total of 391 animals genotyped at 41,258 SNPs and belonging to nine breeds were considered: Angus (N = 62), Charolais (46), Hereford (31), Limousin (44), and Piedmontese (24), clustered in the Meat group, and Brown Swiss (42), Holstein (63), Jersey (49), and Montbéliarde (30), clustered in the Milk group. The population stratification was analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA), whereas selection signatures were identified by univariate (Wright fixation index, F) and multivariate (canonical discriminant analysis, CDA) approaches.
