BACKGROUND: Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.) is an underutilized pulse crop with good drought resistance traits. It is a rich source of protein. Conventional breeding methods for high yielding and abiotic stress tolerant germplasm are...
Multiple-trait experiments with mixed phenotypes (binary, ordinal and continuous) are not rare in animal and plant breeding programs. However, there is a lack of statistical models that can exploit the correlation between traits with mixed phenotypes...
Genomic prediction benefits hybrid rice breeding by increasing selection intensity and accelerating breeding cycles. With the rapid advancement of technology, other omic data, such as metabolomic data and transcriptomic data, are readily available fo...
Genomic selection is revolutionizing plant breeding. However, still lacking are better statistical models for ordinal phenotypes to improve the accuracy of the selection of candidate genotypes. For this reason, in this paper we explore the genomic ba...
Employing computer vision to extract useful information from images and videos is becoming a key technique for identifying phenotypic changes in plants. Here, we review the emerging aspects of computer vision for automated plant phenotyping. Recent a...
BACKGROUND: Maize is a leading crop in the modern agricultural industry that accounts for more than 40% grain production worldwide. THe double haploid technique that uses fewer breeding generations for generating a maize line has accelerated the pace...

Key message New fast and accurate method for phasing and imputation of SNP chip genotypes within diploid bi-parental plant populations. This paper presents a new heuristic method for phasing and imputation of genomic data in diploid plant species. Ou...
OBJECTIVES: Automated detection and quantification of plant diseases would enable more rapid gains in plant breeding and faster scouting of farmers' fields. However, it is difficult for a simple algorithm to distinguish between the target disease and...
