Abstract

Read online

In this Review, Bhat et al. highlight ways to mine crop haplotypes and apply them for dissecting complex traits and genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) approaches. This Review presents new avenues to discover superior haplotypes and assemble them in targeted manner in crop breeding for faster delivery of high-yielding cultivars with better adaptation to future climates.
