- 30 January 2003
Abstract.A software tool was developed for the identification of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in a barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) EST (expressed sequence tag) database comprising 24,595 sequences. In… Expand
Molecular markers and their applications in wheat breeding
- P. Gupta, R. Varshney, P. C. Sharma, B. Ramesh
- Biology
- 1 October 1999
In recent years, considerable emphasis has been placed on the development of molecular markers to be used for a variety of objectives. This review attempts to give an account of different molecular… Expand
Recent history of artificial outcrossing facilitates whole-genome association mapping in elite inbred crop varieties
- N. Rostoks, L. Ramsay, +10 authors R. Waugh
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 5 December 2006
Genomewide association studies depend on the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD), the number and distribution of markers, and the underlying structure in populations under study. Outbreeding… Expand
Draft genome sequence of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) provides a resource for trait improvement
- R. Varshney, Chi Song, +46 authors D. Cook
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Biotechnology
- 1 March 2013
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is the second most widely grown legume crop after soybean, accounting for a substantial proportion of human dietary nitrogen intake and playing a crucial role in food… Expand
Identification, characterization and utilization of EST-derived genic microsatellite markers for genome analyses of coffee and related species
- R. K. Aggarwal, P. Hendre, R. Varshney, Prasanna Bhat, V. Krishnakumar, L. Singh
- Biology, Medicine
- Theoretical and Applied Genetics
- 2006
Genic microsatellites or EST–SSRs derived from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are desired because these are inexpensive to develop, represent transcribed genes, and often a putative function can be… Expand
Draft genome sequence of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan), an orphan legume crop of resource-poor farmers
- R. Varshney, W. Chen, +28 authors S. Jackson
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Biotechnology
- 2012
Pigeonpea is an important legume food crop grown primarily by smallholder farmers in many semi-arid tropical regions of the world. We used the Illumina next-generation sequencing platform to generate… Expand
Genomic Selection for Crop Improvement
- R. Varshney, Manish Roorkiwal, M. Sorrells
- Biology
- Springer International Publishing

Abstract A set of 20 wheat microsatellite markers was used with 55 elite wheat genotypes to examine their utility (1) in detecting DNA polymorphism, (2)in the identifying genotypes and (3) in… Expand
The genome sequences of Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaensis, the diploid ancestors of cultivated peanut
- D. Bertioli, S. Cannon, +36 authors P. Ozias-Akins
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 April 2016
Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an allotetraploid with closely related subgenomes of a total size of ∼2.7 Gb. This makes the assembly of chromosomal pseudomolecules very challenging. As a… Expand
