Mapping traits of agronomic interest in specific genomic regions appears as another pivotal effort for the future development of novel cultivars. For this purpose, there is evidence that MAGIC and other exotic populations will play a major role in the coming years in allowing for impressive gains in plant breeding for developing new generations of improved cultivars. This Special Issue focused on the application of advanced technologies devoted to crop improvement and exploit the available biodiversity in crops. In detail, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies supported the development of high-density genotyping arrays for different plants included in this issue.Research & information: generalbicsscnatural variationmaizenucleotide diversitydomestication selectionZmPGP1 geneIpomoea batatasgenetic diversitySSR markersqualitative traitspure linesF1 hybridsmicrosatellite markersmarker-assisted breedingcrop improvementvarietiesFragariaRubusmicrosatellitestransferabilitypolymorphismintronsexonsflavonoid biosynthesis pathwaytranscription factor geneschitinasemultiple populationlinkage mappingJLAMQTLvalidationgenomic predictionmaize lethal necrosisherbaceous peonymolecular markernext-generation sequencingpedigreeVicia faba L., genetic diversityin situ conservationOlea europaea L.olivecpSSRnuSSRpopulation structureMediterranean RegionGWASdroughtbarleyspikelet developmentcandidate genelinkage mapRADSolanum melongenaResearch & information: generalMercati Francescoedt1310434Sunseri FrancescoedtMercati FrancescoothSunseri FrancescoothBOOK9910557472303321Genetic Diversity Assessment and Marker-Assisted Selection in Crops3029812UNINA
