Aromatic rice is highly prized by most rice consumers, and many countries cultivate
traditional and improved aromatic varieties. 2‐Acetyl‐1‐pyrroline (2AP) is the major aromatic …

Genebanks underpin global food security, conserving and distributing agrobiodiversity for
use in research and breeding. The CGIAR collections include >700,000 seed accessions, …

As the human population grows from 7.8 billion to 10 billion over the next 30 years, breeders
must do everything possible to create crops that are highly productive and nutritious, while …

We describe an association mapping approach using natural populations of perennial
ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) to identify molecular markers associated with heading date, an …

Background and Aims Understanding variation in seed longevity, especially within closely
related germplasm, will lead to better understanding of the molecular basis of this trait, which …
