Environment-specific selection of pearl millet genotypes by using an integrated MGIDI–WAASB framework across a global pearl millet diversity panel

Context Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) is a key dryland staple crop suffering significant yield losses under heat and drought stress. Both marginal and productive ecologies of pearl millet cultivation require distinct ideotypes for breeding, whereas strong genotype × enviro...

Phylogenetic diversity and genome-wide association mapping of salt tolerance traits in Cambodian rice germplasm

Abstract Soil salinity is a major problem that reduces the growth and yield of rice, particularly in coastal rice-growing regions such as certain provinces of Cambodia. This study evaluated salinity tolerance in 60 Cambodian rice varieties at germination and seedling stages and c...
