Revealing gene regulation and associations through biologicalnetworks

tTraditionally, over the last 10,000 years, agriculture has relied on natural biological evolution and carefulselection of plant varieties by farmers that was used as the founder material by plant breeders in the last150 years for further genetic improvement. Plant breeders played an important role mainly by introgres-sion of a trait of interest, through the transfer of genetic loci, into an el…
