A comprehensive review of the genetic control of cooking time in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing cooking time could increase dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) consumption. Cooking is an essential processing step needed to unlock the nutrients in dry beans and to make them palatable and safe for consumption. Long cooking times have consequences for dry bean use, especially where cooking fuel cost is high and when people prefer foods that are ...

Using bioinformatics and systems genetics to dissect HDL-cholesterol genetics in an MRL/MpJ × SM/J intercross[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2012
A higher incidence of coronary artery disease is associated with a lower level of HDL-cholesterol. We searched for genetic loci influencing HDL-cholesterol in F2 mice from a cross between MRL/MpJ and SM/J mice.

More sustainability in Europe's vineyards – Using resistant grapevine varieties to reduce the input of pesticides

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Widespread adoption of disease‐resistant grapevine varieties presents a significant opportunity to revolutionize viticulture and address pressing environmental concerns. By reducing reliance on chemical pesticides, these varieties align with the European Commission's Green Deal objectives, striving for sustainable agricultural

A Bayesian test to identify variance effects [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Identifying genetic variants that regulate quantitative traits, or QTLs, is the primary focus of the field of statistical genetics. Most current methods are limited to identifying mean effects, or associations between genotype and the mean value of a quantitative trait.

Identification of candidate genes and molecular markers for heat-induced brown discoloration of seed coats in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp]. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundHeat-induced browning (Hbs) of seed coats is caused by high temperatures which discolors the seed coats of many legumes, affecting the visual appearance and quality of seeds.

Quantitative Trait Loci Affecting Oil Content, Oil Composition, and Other Agronomically Important Traits in Oat

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, 2012
Groat oil content and composition are important determinants of oat ( L.) quality. We investigated these traits in a population of 146 recombinant inbred lines from a cross between ‘Dal’ (high oil) and ‘Exeter’ (low oil).

Different nontarget‐site mechanisms underlie resistance to dicamba and 2,4‐D in an Amaranthus tuberculatus population

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Weak phenotypic and genetic associations between resistance to dicamba and 2,4‐D suggest that different nontarget‐site mechanisms contribute to these traits in an Amaranthus tuberculatus population from Illinois. Abstract BACKGROUND Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer (waterhemp) has emerged as one of several weed species that is resistant to ...

krn1, a major quantitative trait locus for kernel row number in maize.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2019
Kernel row number is a fundamental component of maize (Zea mays) yield and an important target for maize breeding. The revolutionary transition from the two-rowed teosinte to maize with increased kernel row numbers dramatically enhanced yields during ...

Genetic Influences on Brain Gene Expression in Rats Selected for Tameness and Aggression

open access: yes, 2014
Inter-individual differences in many behaviors are partly due to genetic differences, but the identification of the genes and variants that influence behavior remains challenging.
