Genomic and phenomic prediction models improve selection accuracy for complex traits in alfalfa
Abstract Predictive breeding has been proposed as an effective approach to accelerate genetic gain for complex traits. Genomic prediction (GP) models have been developed in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) for key traits in the last decade. More recently, phenomic prediction (PP) models have been proposed as a low‐cost, high‐throughput alternative to GP in

Abstract Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) is an obligately outcrossing, cool‐season annual legume valued for forage and cover cropping, yet genomic resources to support systematic improvement are limited. We performed the first whole‐genome re‐sequencing of global crimson clover germplasm to (i) develop a public mid‐density enrichment capture ...

Understanding environmental adaptation in intermediate wheatgrass
Abstract Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium) is a perennial grain crop that offers many environmental benefits through extensive root systems in addition to food production. IWG's distribution across broad environmental gradients in Eurasia provides a model system for studying climate adaptation genetics essential for developing ...

Salt stress significantly impacts plant growth. Through population transcriptome, eQTL and TWAS analyses, we identified several candidate genes potentially associated with salt stress response. Functional assays suggested that some of these genes may contribute to salt tolerance.

Legume pre‐crops can improve following cereal yields and reduce climate impact
Abstract Legumes are increasingly promoted as a diversification strategy to mitigate externalities in low‐diverse cropping systems. Their inclusion can enhance agronomic performance of subsequent crops and reduce external inputs, potentially improving sustainability of current agricultural systems. This study aimed to (i) compare the pre‐crop effect of
