A yield-associated gene TaCWI, in wheat: its function, selection and evolution in global breeding revealed by haplotype analysis
Wheat anther-specific invertase genes were haplotyped in wheat. Strong allelic selection occurred during wheat polyploidization, domestication and breeding because of their association with yie...

Genome-wide association analysis for nine agronomic traits in maize under well-watered and water-stressed conditions
Drought can cause severe reduction in maize production, and strongly threatens crop yields. To dissect this complex trait and identify superior alleles, 350 tropical and subtropical maize inbred lines were gen...

Identification and development of a functional marker of TaGW2 associated with grain weight in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
The OsGW2 gene is involved in rice grain development, influencing grain width and weight. Its ortholog in wheat, TaGW2, was considered as a candidate gene related to grain development. We found that TaGW2 is cons...
