The purpose of breeding programs is to obtain sustainable gains in multiple traits while
controlling the loss of genetic variation. The decisions at each breeding cycle involve multiple, …

Phenotyping is the current bottleneck in plant breeding, especially because next-generation
sequencing has decreased genotyping cost more than 100.000 fold in the last 20 years. …

Core Ideas Optimum seeding rate on elite durum wheat depends on environment. Seeding
rate had a significant positive relationship with grain yield, leaf area index, and carbon …

Fusarium langsethiae is a symptomless pathogen of oat panicles that produces T‐2 and HT‐2
mycotoxins, two of the most potent trichothecenes produced by Fusarium fungi in cereals. …

This chapter provides a practical overview of the statistical analysis using R [1] and genotype
by sequencing (GBS) markers for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in oats. …

Background In statistical genetics, an important task involves building predictive models of
the genotype–phenotype relationship to attribute a proportion of the total phenotypic variance …

Loose smut, caused by Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr., is a systemic disease of tetraploid
durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.). Loose smut can be economically controlled by growing …

Spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the most important cereal in Iceland and its national
breeding program aims to select barley genotypes adapted to its environment. A critical step …

Key message We found two loci on chromosomes 2BS and 6AL that significantly contribute
to stripe rust resistance in current European winter wheat germplasm. Abstract Stripe or …

A major barrier to the wider use of supervised learning in emerging applications, such as
genomic selection, is the lack of sufficient and representative labeled data to train prediction …
