Evaluating crop biodiversity is a challenging task and needs to integrate knowledge from different levels. This overview paper offers ways to tackle this challenge, illustrated by the case for drought tolerance in banana. KU Leuven hosts the International Musa Germplasm Collection managed by Biov...

The polyploidy nature of banana is a limiting factor in the implementation of strategies such as marker assisted selection (MAS) or genome wide association mapping (GWAS). The triploid nature of cultivated varieties complicates conventional breeding strategies and improved varieties can take up t...

The impact of utilizing the genomic relationship matrix (G) computed based on breedwise allele frequencies or different scaling factors on the accuracy of genomic prediction in cross-bred dairy cattle in smallholder systems was investigated. Data consisted of genotypes from the Illumina HD chip a...

Around the world, a small number of plant species serve as the primary source of food for the human population, yet these crops are vulnerable to multiple stressors, such as diseases, nutrient deficiencies and unfavorable environmental conditions. Traditional breeding methods for plant improvemen...
