Bees may drive the reproduction of four sympatric cacti in a vanishing coastal mediterranean-type ecosystem [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Sympatric congeneric plants might share pollinators, or each species might avoid competition by evolving specialized traits that generate partitions in pollinator assemblages.

Adaptive floral traits that impact stigma pollen load and seed production in Penstemon digitalis (Plantaginaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Penstemon digitalis is an early spring‐flowering species of the northwest Missouri prairie community, a period often characterized by low and unpredictable bee visitation. We conducted an experimental field study to evaluate how pollinator‐mediated pollen transfer and floral longevity interact to influence pollen acquisition and seed production.

Genome‐wide association studies of a pea germplasm reveal novel markers and candidate genes implicated in resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi races 1 and 2

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an essential legume crop cultivated globally as food and feed. However, its production is greatly constrained by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi (Fop). Breeding for resistance is the most efficient management strategy, but the genetic foundation of Fop resistance remains unclear.

Genetic diversity and population structure of jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) global collection to guide conservation and breeding

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the genome‐wide diversity of jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) is crucial for unlocking the potential of global genebank collections, enabling the discovery and use of traits that support climate resilience, improve nutrition, and increase productivity.

In Vivo Propagation of Root Explants of the Dandelion Species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz, Taraxacum officinale and Their Interspecific Hybrids

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 610-624, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The dandelion species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz is a promising new crop for natural rubber production and is currently in the early stages of the breeding process. To support these efforts, the multiplication and conservation of defined genotypes are crucial.

Nolana balsamiflua (Gaudich.) Mesa (Solanaceae), un arbusto vulnerable del desierto de Atacama dependiente de polinizadores para producir semillas

Gayana: Botanica, 2019
Pollinator-dependency for reproduction is of great importance for plants. We evaluated the breeding system of Nolana balsamiflua, a threatened endemic shrub of the Atacama Desert, performing four pollination trials.
