Molecular polymorphisms that underlie trait variation in crops: Lessons learned from soybean
Abstract Genetic variation within a germplasm is important in crop improvement, providing a foundation for breeders to develop new varieties. Traits of agronomic and economic importance are often mapped to identify the genetic basis of observed phenotypes, oftentimes using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis.

Abstract Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a fruit tree native to the Brazilian Amazon and increasingly relevant to regional bioeconomies. Its cultivation is severely affected by witches’ broom disease (WBD), caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa. While a chromosome‐scale genome of the susceptible genotype C1074 is available, the lack of a resistant ...

doublesex regulates sexual dimorphism in elytral color patterns of Harmonia axyridis by downregulating the color patterning gene h in males. This regulatory link diverged in derived color morphs, coinciding with the loss of sex‐specific elytral color patterns.

Archipelago Method for Variant Set Association Test Statistics
ABSTRACT Variant set association tests (VSAT), especially those incorporating rare variants via variant collapse, are invaluable in genetic studies. However, unlike Manhattan plots for single‐variant tests, VSAT statistics lack intrinsic genomic coordinates, hindering visual interpretation.
