Highly Polygenic Control of Photosynthetic Responses to Nighttime Temperature Studied by Genomic Prediction
Key Points
This research aims to understand how temperature at night affects photosynthesis in plants and utilizes genomic tools for breeding.
Implemented genomic prediction and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to analyze plant traits.
Examined photosynthetic responses to cool and warm nighttime temperatures in various crop species.
Identified significant genetic variations influencing photosynthetic responses to different nighttime temperatures.
Demonstrated the potential for genomic tools to assist in developing crops adapted to climate change.
Abstract
' response to cool vs warm nights and establish a framework for leveraging GWAS and GP to explore complex traits, such as photosynthesis, toward breeding climate-resilient crops.
