Session Description: This symposium will have both invited as well as contributed presentations in the area of novel trait discovery approaches such as genome-wide association studies, nested association mapping, multi-parents advanced genetic cross (MAGIC) mapping, QTL-seq/ Seq-BSA and modern genomics-assisted breeing approaches such as genomic selection and forward breeding. Deployment of these approaches will help accelerating genetic gains in crop breeding.
