TIPS review on fast-forward genetics published

Implications of next-generation sequencing enabled genetic approaches for plant biology and plant breeding.

In this review, we discuss the implications of next-generation sequencing enabled genetic approaches for plant biology and plant breeding.… Read the rest

Genetics paper on flowering time architecture published

In maize, many genes of small effects explain variation in flowering time.

In contrast, we report in this paper here that a large portion of flowering-time variation in A. thaliana can be explained by large-effect loci, but that these tend … Read the rest
