TL;DR: The region harbouring Saltol, a major quantitative trait loci on chromosome 1 in rice, which is known to control salinity tolerance at seedling stage, was detected as a major association with Na+/K+ ratio measured at reproductive stage in this study.

TL;DR: Cloning and sequencing of size variant amplicons revealed that the variation in the number of repeat-units was the main source of SEGMS fragment length polymorphism, suggesting their usefulness in various genotyping applications in sugarcane.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the immense applicability of developed microsatellite markers in germplasm characterization, phylogenetics, construction of genetic linkage map for gene/quantitative trait loci discovery, comparative mapping in foxtail millet, including other millets and bioenergy grass species.

TL;DR: This genome-wide identification and expression profiling unlocks new avenues for systematic functional analysis of novel NAC gene family candidates which may be applied for improvising stress adaption in plants.

TL;DR: The proposed QTL-seq-driven integrated genome-wide strategy has potential to delineate major candidate gene(s) harbouring a robust trait regulatory QTL rapidly with optimal use of resources to extrapolate the molecular mechanism underlying complex quantitative traits at a genome- wide scale leading to fast-paced marker-assisted genetic improvement in diverse crop plants, including chickpea.
