Vegetable Breeding, Genetics and Genomics, 2nd Volume

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, vegetable breeding has been driven by genomics and next-generation sequencing tools. NGS has advanced breeding to the next level, as orphan crops, or understudied vegetable and fruit crops, are currently being sequenced to generate gold-standard genome sequences, deep sequencing of germplasm collections and breeding populations. These resources were used to perform genomic-assisted selections, to identify deleterious alleles and targets for genome editing, and, most importantly, to identify lines with the highest breeding value based on genomic predictions. For this Topic, we invite papers addressing the development and use of whole-genome sequencing, SNP, or structural variants, genome-wide association studies, genomic predictions, QTL analysis, methods for analysis, review articles related to this topic, and methods to purge deleterious alleles from the crops, with special reference being made to vegetable crops.
