Characterization of the polymorphism detected for the granule‐bound starch synthase (WX gene) in wild einkorn wheat

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2437-2446, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The WX gene encodes the granule‐bound starch synthase I or waxy protein, which is the sole enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis in wheat seeds. Wild einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. aegilopoides Link em. Thell.) could be an important source of variation for this gene. RESULTS This study assessed the WX gene variability

Genomics Insights Into High‐Latitude Adaptation of Tibetan Macaques

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
Tibetan macaques exhibit unique adaptations to cold, high‐latitude environments, including shortened tails and enhanced fat storage. Genomic analyses reveal a species‐specific TBX6 mutation linked to tail reduction and selection on lipid metabolism genes.

The progressive modernization of cassava breeding programs at International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and future prospects

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Modernizing cassava breeding programs (CBPs) is critical to increase genetic gain, close the yield gap, and ensure food availability, accessibility, and affordability to support livelihood transformation and economic development in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA).

GWAS reveals novel QTLs associated with panicle architecture traits in US long‐grain rice

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Understanding the variability of panicle architecture‐related traits is important to enhance rice (Oryza sativa L.) improvement. The present study evaluated 208 diverse rice lines of southern rice breeding programs for panicle length (PL), panicle weight (PW), and thousand grain weight (GW).

Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Pleistocene Sea‐Level Fluctuation Shapes Archipelago‐Wide Population Structure in the Critically Endangered Lord Howe Island Cockroach Panesthia lata

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We demonstrate that populations of the critically endangered Lord howe Island cockroach Panesthia lata were connected by land bridges during the last glacial period. Its 4 isolated populations are now highly inbred, suggesting that conservation translocation may be a viable strategy for conservation. ABSTRACT The Lord Howe Island Group (LHIG) is one of

PhyloRef: A Semi‐Automated Workflow for eDNA Reference Database Curation via Phylogenetic Anomaly Detection

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
PhyloRef processes complete mitochondrial genomes with optional multi‐gene concatenation to flag three categories of phylogenetic anomalies based on tree topology and annotates ambiguous sequences with “similar_to=” labels. The workflow successfully curated 7600+ chondrichthyan and actinopterygian sequences from NCBI, identifying and removing 410 ...

On the Limits of Alpine Plants: A Systematic Review of the Factors Behind Species' Elevational Range Limits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.
