Editorial: Genome Wide Association Studies and Genomic Selection for Crop Improvement in the Era of Big Data
Alison R. Bentley, Charles Chen, Nunzio D’Agostino
Abstract
The exploitation of the genetic diversity of crops is essential for breeding purposes, as the identification of useful/beneficial alleles for target traits within plant genetic resources allows the development of new varieties capable of responding to the challenges of global agriculture (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2010).
