Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Vegetable Genetic Resources in Nutrition Security and Vegetable Breeding.
TL;DR: Genomics-assisted breeding is increasingly facilitating the introgression of favorable genes and quantitative trait loci with complex inheritance patterns from wild species into cultigens, which will lead to wider use of crop wild relatives in the development of resilient cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Updated foxtail millet genome assembly and gene mapping of nine key agronomic traits by resequencing a RIL population.
Xuemei Ni,Qiuju Xia,Houbao Zhang,Shu Cheng,Hui Li,Fan Guangyu,Tao Guo,Ping Huang,Haitao Xiang,Qingchun Chen,Ning Li,Hongfeng Zou,Xuemei Cai,Xuejing Lei,Wang Xiaoming,Zhou Chengshu,Zhao Zhihai,Gengyun Zhang,Guohua Du,Cai Wei,Zhiwu Quan +20 more
TL;DR: The whole genome resequencing and QTL mapping provided important tools for foxtail millet research and breeding and could also provide an effective way for high-quality genome assembly and gene identification.
Journal ArticleDOI
From Observation to Information: Data-Driven Understanding of on Farm Yield Variation.

TL;DR: Observations confirm that the definition of HEs as recommendation domains at a small-scale is valid, and that the effectiveness of distinct management practices for specific micro-recommendation domains can be identified with the methodologies developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Priscila Ambrósio Moreira,Juliana Lins,Gabriel Dequigiovanni,Elizabeth Ann Veasey,Charles R. Clement +4 more
TL;DR: Evidence reported here strongly supports Kuntze’s (1925) suggestion that Bixa urucurana Willd.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iterative increase of economic tree species in managed swidden-fallows of the Amazon.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence for the spontaneous long-term community enrichment of an area with valuable plants in a cyclic or iterative fashion, in the context of an existing fallow utilization scheme in the Amazon.
