DOI: 10.1080/02571862.2016.1213323
Abstract: Ascertaining the relationship of genetic diversity and combining ability would aid the design of a breeding strategy for maize hybrids. Twelve tropical maize inbreds were crossed in a half-diallel to study gene action for yield… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac119
Abstract: Abstract Commonly used methods for inferring phylogenies were designed before the emergence of high-throughput sequencing and can generally not accommodate the challenges associated with noisy, diploid sequencing data. In many applications, diploid genomes are still… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants11070929
Abstract: A compensatory base change (CBC) that coevolves in the secondary structure of ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) influences the estimation of genetic distance and thus challenges the phylogenetic use of this most popular genetic… read more here.
