ABSTRACT Flooding is a major abiotic stress that limits legume productivity and ecological resilience. Identifying variation in submergence tolerance among legume accessions is critical for developing climate‐resilient cultivars. This study investigated phenotypic and physiological responses to complete submergence in nine Lotus japonicus accessions ...

Genomic Analysis of Taurine and Indicine Ancestry in the Montana Tropical Composite Population
ABSTRACT The Montana Tropical cattle, a Taurine and Indicine composite, were developed in Brazil since 1994 and were based on crossing four biological types of cattle: zebu (mainly Nelore), tropical adapted taurine (mainly Senepol and Romosinuano), British taurine (mainly Angus) and continental taurine (as Charolais, Simental and Limousin).

A Dominant Founder Lineage Has Possible Fitness Costs for the Endangered Mexican Grey Wolf
ABSTRACT The Mexican grey wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is an endangered and genetically distinct subspecies of grey wolf adapted to the warm climates of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Following centuries of eradication efforts, Mexican grey wolves were protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1976, prompting an international ex situ ...

Population Genomic Structure of Sorghum Landraces Across Landscape, Environment and Culture
ABSTRACT The spread of staple crops to diverse environments over time and their current genetic structure may reflect historical dispersal by humans, sustained human preference for particular traits and adaptation to local environments. Sorghum is a drought‐tolerant crop native to Africa cultivated by hundreds of millions of smallholders globally. Here

ABSTRACT Invasive species that undergo a founder event may experience a decline in genetic diversity yet still establish successful populations. A possible example is a population of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, which was founded following an introduction in the 1950s of a small number of individuals from Europe ...

ABSTRACT Through genomic phylogeography, previously unrecognised biodiversity can be revealed. The alpine newt serves as a case in point: this taxon carries highly distinct mtDNA clades and has a severely fragmented range. We obtain genome‐wide data with target enrichment by sequence capture to delineate cryptic species and disentangle their ...

To uncover new durable resistance sources to Leptosphaeria maculans in Brassica napus, we targeted late effector genes, located in conserved genomic regions and overexpressed during stem infection. ABSTRACT Leptosphaeria maculans is a phytopathogenic fungus responsible for stem canker on Brassica napus.

Summary The Grant‐Stebbins model predicts that a plant species encountering different pollinators across its range may undergo local adaptation and, subsequently, ecological speciation. We tested whether this could explain the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus (Gesneriaceae), a species phylogenetically derived from sunbird specialist ancestors.
