Article Abstract
Pea is one of the most important grain legume crops in temperate regions worldwide. Improving pea yield is a critical breeding target. Nine inter-connected pea recombinant inbred line populations were evaluated in nine environments at INRAE Dijon, France and genotyped using the GenoPea 13.2 K SNP array. Each population has been evaluated in two to four environments. A multi-population Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) analysis for seed weight per plant (SW), seed number per plant (SN), thousand seed weight (TSW) and seed protein content (SPC) was done. QTL were then projected on the multi-population consensus map and a meta-analysis of QTL was performed. This analysis identified 17 QTL for SW, 16 QTL for SN, 35 QTL for TSW and 21 QTL for SPC, shedding light on trait relationships. These QTL were resolved into 27 metaQTL. Some of them showed small confidence intervals of less than 2 cM encompassing less than one hundred underlying candidate genes. The precision of metaQTL and the potential candidate genes reported in this study enable their use for marker-assisted selection and provide a foundation towards map-based identification of causal polymorphisms.

Multi-omic insights into mitochondrial dysfunction and prostatic disease: evidence from transcriptomics, proteomics, and methylomics.

Background: Prostatic diseases, consisting of prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer (PCa), pose significant health challenges. While single-omics studies have provided valuable insights into the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in prostatic diseases, integrating multi-omics approaches is essential for uncovering disease mechanisms and identifying therapeutic targets.
Methods: A genome-wide meta-analysis was conducted for prostatic diseases using the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data from FinnGen and UK Biobank.

Plant height (PH) and ear height (EH) are closely related to dense planting characteristics and lodging resistance of maize ( L.). Increasing the planting density will lead to changes in the structural characteristics of maize plants, such as reduced stem length and stem strength, thereby influencing their yield and quality.

Introduction: In maize, plant height (PH) is one of the most important agronomic traits that directly influences planting density and yield. Therefore, identifying candidate genes related to PH will help manipulate maize yield indirectly.
Methods: The present research carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PH using a natural population of 580 maize inbred lines.

A dense genome-wide meta-analysis provides new QTLs, reveals breeding history trends and identifies new candidate genes for yield, plant height, grain weight, and heading time of spring barley. This study contributes new knowledge on quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes for adaptive traits and yield in two-rowed spring barley. A meta-analysis of a network of field trials, varying in latitude and sowing date, with 151 cultivars across several European countries, increased QTL detection power compared to single-trial analyses.
