GCP’s collaborators have joined forces once again, this time in their multiple contribution to the April 2010 issue of highly esteemed and influential academic plant sciences journal Current Opinion in Plant Biology.

Volume 13, Issue 2 of the journal is divided into two sub-sections on Genome studies and molecular genetics and Plant biotechnology, with both sections having been edited by GCP collaborator Douglas R Cook (University of California–Davis, USA) and GCP Subprogramme 2 Leader Rajeev K Varshney. Besides the editorial team, numerous GCP partners, including GCP project collaborators and GCP staff alike, have provided input on a range of key articles, with topics including domestication and plant genomes; accessing genetic diversity for crop improvement; the use of QTL for complex traits in multiple environments; modelling of abiotic stress tolerance in plants; and molecular breeding in developing countries, to name just a few.
