Nested association mapping (NAM) populations are a powerful tool for investigating the genetic control of agronomically important traits and have been successfully used in self-pollinating crop species. Here, we present the first NAM population established in the outcrossing forage grass species Italian ryegras...

Introduction
Neglected and underutilized crops have great potential to diversify agroecosystems and human diets but require genetic improvement to make them economically viable alternatives to major crops. Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is valued for its excellent nutritional quality, its ecological imp...

Big trefoil (Lotus pedunculatus Cav.) is a perennial forage legume that thrives on acidic, low-fertility soils and produces condensed tannins that reduce enteric methanogenesis in ruminants. Despite this agronomic potential, genomic resources for the species remain scarce, and the existing haploid assembly does not res...

A sustainable approach to address climate change and increasing water demand in agriculture is breeding for plant functional traits that conserve water and enhance climate resilience. Stomata regulate plant-water relations and are promising targets for crop improvement. Here, we investigate the variation in stomatal...
