The progressive modernization of cassava breeding programs at International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and future prospects

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Modernizing cassava breeding programs (CBPs) is critical to increase genetic gain, close the yield gap, and ensure food availability, accessibility, and affordability to support livelihood transformation and economic development in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA).

GWAS reveals novel QTLs associated with panicle architecture traits in US long‐grain rice

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Understanding the variability of panicle architecture‐related traits is important to enhance rice (Oryza sativa L.) improvement. The present study evaluated 208 diverse rice lines of southern rice breeding programs for panicle length (PL), panicle weight (PW), and thousand grain weight (GW).

Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Drone‐imaging assisted genome‐wide association studies reveal key quantitative trait loci for emergence and late blight resistance in tetraploid potato

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) is the world's most important vegetable crop, and developing improved cultivars is paramount for global food security. The efficacy of the genomic prediction models that accelerate breeding and genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) depends on large, high‐quality phenotypic datasets, which are often associated ...
