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.

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.

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.

Does autogamy contribute to invasion in Lilium formosanum?
South African Journal of Botany, 2008 The Taiwanese geophyte Lilium formosanum is invasive in the eastern parts of South Africa. Although it is capable of autogamy, a pollinator, the hawkmoth Agrius convolvuli, is present. Reproduction may therefore take place both by self- and cross-fertilisation. The relative importance of these modes of pollination for seed production is evaluated using

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study evaluates the factors influencing intrapopulation genetic diversity in dioecious flowering plants by integrating genetic and ecological data from studies published up to 2025. We show that pollination mode, endemism, and conservation status significantly shape genetic diversity patterns, with endemic and threatened species exhibiting the ...

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.
