Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We experimentally supplemented great tit nestlings with methionine, leucine, or tap water to test how essential amino acids influence growth and immune function in forest and suburban habitats. Supplementation increased mass gain in smaller forest nestlings and enhanced lysis activity with methionine in suburban populations.

New important developments in small area estimation
, 2010 The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss some of the new important developments in small area estimation (SAE) methods. Rao (2003) wrote a very comprehensive book, which covers all the main developments in this topic until that time and so the ...

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.Flower production is a key determinant of yield in many fruit crops, including kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa). Floral development is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with biotic stressors such as pathogens also playing a role in reproductive success.

Calibrated Weighting for Small Area Estimation
, 2005 Calibrated weighting methods for estimation of survey population characteristics are widely used. At the same time, model-based prediction methods for estimation of small area or domain characteristics are becoming increasingly popular.

Molecular mechanisms associated with rootstock–scion interactions in rubber trees
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) is the main source of natural rubber worldwide. In commercial plantations, high‐yield rubber tree clones are propagated by grafting onto seedling rootstocks. In this study, the transcriptomes of the RRIM 600 clone grafted on different rootstocks in southeastern Brazil were evaluated. Exclusively expressed genes

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Poplar (Populus spp.) breeding programs increasingly prioritize the development of male varieties due to the environmental issues caused by female catkins. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reliable technique for early sex identification in Populus.

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 ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Preharvest sprouting (PHS), triggered primarily by wet or humid conditions at maturity and further influenced by temperature, causes premature grain germination in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), reducing yield and grain quality. To elucidate the genetic architecture of seed dormancy and germination responses related to PHS tolerance ...

Bootstrap for estimating the mean squared error of the spatial EBLUP [PDF]
, 2007 This work assumes that the small area quantities of interest follow a Fay-Herriot model with spatially correlated random area effects. Under this model, parametric and nonparametric bootstrap procedures are proposed for estimating the mean squared ...
