Special Issue: Breeding Crops for Food and Nutritional Security
The issue focuses on the improvement of nutrition, disease resistance, and climate resilience using multi-faceted approaches, including: development and use of genetic and genomics resources; gene/QTL discovery through genomics and transcriptomic approaches; QTL mapping and genome-wide association studies (GWAS); conventional and genomics-assisted breeding methods for varietal development; and genetic transformation/genome editing.

QTL-seq approach was utilized for mapping of genomic regions/genes associated with days to flowering and leaf shape in pigeonpea. Analysis of genomic regions and associated SNPs with days to flowering and leaf shape revealed 1 and 4 non-synonymous SNPs, respectively. The study demonstrated sequencing-based trait mapping approach can accelerate trait mapping of the targeted traits.
