First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Introgressive hybridization facilitates adaptive divergence in a recent radiation of monkeyflowers [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015
A primary goal in evolutionary biology is to identify the historical events that have facilitated the origin and spread of adaptations. When these adaptations also lead to reproductive isolation, we can learn about the evolutionary mechanisms contributing to speciation.

Development and application of KASP assays to differentiate between Sorghum bicolor, halepense, and their hybrids

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A panel showing the morphological differences between Sorghum halepense (A), hybrids (B), and Sorghum bicolor (C) with a novel KASP‐based genetic assay capable of reliably distinguishing between them. Partially Created in BioRender. https://BioRender.com/1u30ukv Abstract BACKGROUND Sorghum bicolor and Sorghum halepense can readily hybridize, creating ...

Gene-Flow in a Mosaic Hybrid Zone: Is Local Introgression Adaptive? [PDF]

Genetics, 2014
AbstractGenome-wide scans of genetic differentiation between hybridizing taxa can identify genome regions with unusual rates of introgression. Regions of high differentiation might represent barriers to gene flow, while regions of low differentiation might indicate adaptive introgression—the spread of selectively beneficial alleles between ...

Genetic engineering for SIT application: a fruit fly‐focused review

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a key component of efficient pest control. Fruit fly pests from the Drosophilidae and Tephritidae families pose a substantial and overwhelmingly increasing threat to the agricultural industry, aggravated by climate change and globalization among other contributors.

Detection of introgressed loci from Pinus parviflora var. pentaphylla into P. pumila and their possible roles in adaptation to a warming climate

Global Ecology and Conservation
Interspecific introgression can contribute to a rapid adaptation of species in response to environmental shifts, particularly those driven by climate changes.

Assessment of shared alleles in drought-associated candidate genes among southern California white oak species (Quercus sect. Quercus)

BMC Genetics, 2018
Background Hybridization and introgression are common phenomena among oak species. These processes can be beneficial by introducing favorable genetic variants across species (adaptive introgression).

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Repeated Adaptive Introgression at a Gene under Multiallelic Balancing Selection

PLoS Genetics, 2008
Recently diverged species typically have incomplete reproductive barriers, allowing introgression of genetic material from one species into the genomic background of the other. The role of natural selection in preventing or promoting introgression remains contentious.

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.
