- Laboratory analysis of an individual plant's DNA to identify genetic variants, marker profiles or alleles linked to traits of interest.
- GWAS (genome-wide association study)
- A method that scans many individuals' genomes to find DNA markers statistically associated with a trait, such as drought tolerance or grain yield.
- Transcriptomics
- Study of all RNA transcripts in a plant tissue at a given time, used to see which genes are switched on under conditions such as heat, salinity or pathogen attack.
- CRISPR/Cas9
- A gene-editing tool that can introduce targeted changes into a plant genome, widely used in functional studies and crop trait development.
- Arabidopsis thaliana
