Agriculture production as a major driver of the Earth system exceeding planetary boundaries
We explore the role of agriculture in destabilizing the Earth system at the planetary scale,
through examining nine planetary boundaries, or “safe limits”: land-system change, freshwater …

Genomic selection: genome-wide prediction in plant improvement
Association analysis is used to measure relations between markers and quantitative trait
loci (QTL). Their estimation ignores genes with small effects that trigger underpinning …
