Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a nutritionally valuable and stress-tolerant crop in which seed germination plays a critical role in seedling establishment and yield formation. However, the integrated regulatory mechanisms underlying genotypic variation in germination are not yet fully understood. Most existing studies have focused on phenotypic traits or single-omics approaches, leaving a...
