A genome-wide association study (GWAS) using a global Andean diversity panel (ADP) of 237 genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was conducted to gain insight into the genetic architecture of phenology, biomass, yield components, and seed yield traits. The panel was evaluated for 2 yr in field trials in Michigan and genotyped with 5398 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. After correcting for population structure and cryptic relatedness, significant SNP markers associated with several agronomic traits were identified. Positional candidate genes, including Phvul.001G221100 on P. vulgaris (Pv) chromosome 01, associated with days to flowering and maturity were identified. Significant SNPs for seed yield were identified on Pv03 and Pv09 and colocalized with quantitative trait loci (QTL) for yield from previous studies conducted in several environments and contrasting genetic backgrounds. The majority of germplasm carrying the alleles with positive effects on seed yield was of African origin and largely underutilized in US breeding programs. The study provided insights into the genetic architecture of agronomic traits in Andean beans.

Advances in genome engineering have paved the way for targeted epigenome engineering, providing fundamental insights into the role of epigenetic modifications in trait inheritance. Engineered epialleles have already delivered stable, heritable changes in agronomic traits. Despite this capacity, progress in the field has not yet achieved its potential, leaving many avenues of research unexplored.

Flowering time is a critical agronomic trait with a profound effect on the productivity and adaptability of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). Strategically advancing flowering time can reduce the risk of yield losses due to extreme climatic conditions and facilitate the cultivation of subsequent crops on the same land, thereby enhancing overall agricultural efficiency.

Wheat is a primary staple crop worldwide, grown in a wide range of environments, leading to significant yield variation. Improving wheat yield potential and resilience against abiotic and biotic stresses are critical to food security. A perennial debate is to breed for yield potential or for adaptation to specific conditions.

The present work was performed in greenhouse conditions, and 10 ppm Se, 10 ppm B, and 100 mM salinity treatments were used. The results showed significant variations in the agronomic traits of oregano among the treatments and harvests. The 10 ppm Se×10 ppm B treatment showed improvements over other properties for morphological and yield properties with protein, essential oil, and Zn contents, and B×salinity outperformed other treatments, with variations in branch number enhancement.
