Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Adaptive introgression in the context of climate adaptation

As the biosphere faces accelerating environmental disruption, including climate change, and the prospect of an anthropogenically-driven mass extinction, understanding the mechanisms that enable species to adapt has become increasingly urgent. One mechanism attracting growing attention is adaptive introgression, the transfer of beneficial genetic ...

Genetic structure of sugar kelp in the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf (Québec, Canada)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The sugar kelp, Saccharina latissima, is cultivated at low scale in Quebec, Canada, and current practice involves seeding meiospores or gametophyte stocks onto spools carrying twine and transferring these to a seaweed farm site. As the stocks can originate from locations spanning several hundreds of kilometers from the farm sites, such ...

Integrative phylogenomics and morphology reveal the evolution and biogeography of Encephalartos (Zamiaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We aimed to conduct phylogenetic analyses of Encephalartos, a cycad genus endemic to Africa, using 3545 single‐copy nuclear genes extracted from transcriptome data, covering 64/65 of the recognized species, along with inference of divergence times using two secondary calibration points.

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...

Genomic Introgression in the Hybrid zones at the Margins of the Species' Range Between Ecologically Distinct Rubus Species

Ecology and Evolution
Populations in extreme environments at the margins of a species' range are often the most vulnerable to climate change, but they may also experience novel evolutionary processes, such as secondary contact and hybridization with their relatives. The range

An α/β‐Hydrolase GmABHD6 Controls Seed Oil Content and Yield in Soybean

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed oil content is a key trait in soybean, yet its genetic basis remains largely unresolved. Here, we identify GmABHD6, an α/β‐hydrolase domain‐containing gene, as the causal gene underlying a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for seed oil content on chromosome 16.

Haplotype‐Resolved Genome Assembly and Population Genomics Reveal Evolutionary History and Agronomic Traits of Mulberry

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mulberry is a representative economic tree species valued for both poverty alleviation and medicinal use. To advance the understanding of mulberry genomics and demography, we assembled high‐quality haploid genomes of two widely cultivated mulberry varieties NS14 and QS1, and analysed 376 accessions from 12 countries, including 39 ancient trees

Adaptive introgressive hybridization with the Algerian mouse (Mus spretus) promoted the evolution of anticoagulant rodenticide resistance in European house mice (M. musculus domesticus)

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2011
Adaptive introgressive hybridization refers to the natural transfer of genes after interspecific mating between species, and subsequent expression of these genes in the recipient species as a new trait that confers selective advantages. Conceptually, the
