Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Pollination in New Zealand: A Preliminary Report on Flower Visitors, Natural Pollen Deposition, and Artificial Pollination

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 439-451, March 2026.
Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s to produce compounds that can boost the immune response to vaccines.

Integrated GWAS and Fst analysis identify flowering‐time regulatory genes in maize

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Flowering time in maize is a complex quantitative trait regulated by multiple genes, and its genetic variation mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we phenotypically evaluated flowering‐related traits (days to tasseling, days to pollen shedding, days to silking) across six different environments using an association ...

Genome‐wide association analysis to identify QTLs and candidate genes associated with grain yield and its related traits under low light conditions in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Low‐light (LL) stress caused by persistent cloud cover during the Kharif season significantly reduces rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain yield (GY) by limiting photosynthesis, impairing assimilate production, and affecting reproductive development.

Optimizing genomic predictions in maize using a diversity panel and a multiparental population

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Genomic selection allows the prediction of genetic values using SNP markers distributed across the genome. Its effectiveness depends on factors such as trait heritability, genetic similarity between training and validation sets, and population structure.
