Abstract

This second volume of this series of Special Issues provides research papers and reviews on the use of molecular marker technologies, genomics selection, site-directed mutagenesis, gene-discovery by genome-wide association studies and biotechnology in important grain crops, tubers, fruit bearing shrub and small fruit crops [...]

Highlights

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations
Breeding crop plants for end-product use such as quality traits are greatly facilitated by the use of DNA molecular markers
There is a need for adaptation in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) for Sub-Sahara Africa to overcome yield-drag compared to the global average production and by using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in a Tropical Glycine max germplasm interesting genetic material could be identified for future soybean breeding [2]
