Detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms in virus genomes assembled from high-throughput sequencing data: large-scale performance testing of sequence analysis strategies Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Characterization of the genetic composition and establishment of a core collection for the INERA Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) field genebank from the Democratic Republic of Congo Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise KU Leuven
Genome-wide genotyping data renew knowledge on genetic diversity of a worldwide alfalfa collection and give insights on genetic control of phenology traits Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
China's and Europe's dependence on imported protein is a threat to the food self-sufficiency of these regions. It could be solved by growing more legumes, including alfalfa that is the highest protein producer under temperate climate. To create productive and high-value varieties, the use of large genetic diversity combined with genomic evaluation could improve current breeding programs. To study alfalfa diversity, we have used a set of 395 ...
Combining multiplex gene editing and doubled haploid technology in maize Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie
A major advantage of using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene editing is multiplexing, that is, the simultaneous targeting of many genes. However, primary transformants typically contain hetero-allelic mutations or are genetic mosaic, while genetically stable lines that are homozygous are desired for functional analysis. Currently, a dedicated and labor-intensive effort is required to obtain such higher-order mutants through several generations of genetic ...

A genome-wide association study of freezing tolerance in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) germplasm of European origin. Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Improvement of persistency is an important breeding goal in red clover ( Trifolium pratense L.). In areas with cold winters, lack of persistency is often due to poor winter survival, of which low freezing tolerance (FT) is an important component. We conducted a genome wide association study (GWAS) to identify loci associated with freezing tolerance in a collection of 393 red clover accessions, mostly of European origin, and performed ...
