Summary: The study focuses on a multiparental random mating population used in sorghum breeding, which is suitable for detecting QTLs related to tropical soil adaptation, fine mapping of underlying genes, and genomic selection. By conducting genome-wide association mapping, the study identified conserved QTLs for root morphology and grain yield under low-P conditions, highlighting the importance of dominance in the genetic architecture of grain yield. Additionally, the study successfully mapped candidate P efficiency genes and demonstrated that genomic selection can be useful in identifying rare alleles for traits like Al tolerance in a relatively small progeny population.

Summary: The bay scallop is an economically important bivalve species in aquaculture industry in China, with the highest annual yield. Through whole genomic resequencing analysis, researchers found that the selective breeds of bay scallop have lower levels of genomic polymorphism and increased linkage disequilibrium compared to the hatchery reference population. Selective sweep analysis revealed genes under selection in the two breeds, potentially contributing to improved growth and immunity performance.

Summary: This study conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using sorghum genetic resources in Ethiopia to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated with major agronomic traits in sorghum. The study revealed the genetic variation in sorghum traits and identified several novel and previously known quantitative trait loci. The major findings of this study were the significant association of major effect SNP loci with traits such as panicle width, days to flowering, grain yield, and panicle length.

Summary: In this study, a homologous gene of the rice gene OsSPL14, TaSPL14, was cloned and characterized in wheat. TaSPL14 homoeologs were preferentially expressed in stems and young spikes and overexpression of TaSPL14 resulted in changes in plant architecture and yield traits in wheat. Haplotype-based association analysis showed that TaSPL14-7A-Hap1/2 was significantly correlated with favorable traits in modern cultivars, and these haplotypes have undergone positive selection during global wheat breeding over the last century. These findings provide valuable insights into the function and genetic effects of TaSPL14 and offer a useful molecular marker for wheat breeding.

Summary: In this study, the tiller number in Korean japonica rice was analyzed using 160 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between two temperate japonica varieties. A major QTL for tiller number, qTN3, was identified and found to be stable across generations and environments. The study also revealed a known functional variant in the gene OsTB1 that affects tiller number and culm strength. This research is important for breeding programs aimed at developing japonica varieties with optimal tiller numbers and increased yield.

Summary: Little millet, native to India, is a highly nutritious grain that can grow well in marginal lands and withstand drought and waterlogging conditions. Research shows significant variability in agronomic and grain nutrient traits of little millet landraces, with some accessions displaying promising characteristics. Further evaluation of these accessions under different conditions could lead to the identification of valuable varieties for cultivation or improvement of little millet.

Summary: This study evaluated the sorghum mini core collection and performed association mapping, identifying QTLs associated with flowering time, biomass, plant height, and other traits. Transgenic studies revealed a gene that, when overexpressed, increased biomass and sugar yield in sorghum and delayed flowering. These findings have important implications for genetic enhancement of plants.
