Multi-omics assisted prediction of disease resistance mechanisms using machine learning has the potential to accelerate the breeding of resistant legume varieties. Grain legumes, such as soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)...
Crop production has been regarded as the major goal of agricultural activities, but the rapidly growing population and climate change have become more complex in the agricultural systems. Abiotic stress greatly affects crop productivity globally; dev...
