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 ...

Potato dihaploids uncover diverse alleles to facilitate diploid potato breeding
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred‐hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands.

Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 147-157, March 2026.ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

Plant‐Pollinator Interactions in Grasslands Established on Arable Land
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We compared plant‐pollinator networks in newly established and old, permanent grasslands in a Central European agricultural landscape. Newly established grasslands showed higher pollinator visitation frequency and diversity per plant species, especially for solitary bees and syrphids, with a comparable network structure to old grasslands.
