Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Is Micronucleus Assay a Suitable Biomarker for Evaluating the Cancer Risk in Professionals Exposed to Antineoplastic Drugs? A Systematic Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 733-753, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The widespread use of antineoplastic drugs in cancer treatment has led to significant concerns regarding the potential health risks posed to healthcare professionals involved in the preparation, administration, and handling of these chemical compounds, including genotoxicity.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Diverse reference genomes detect variants in the US winter wheat

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The first hexaploid bread wheat reference genome from Chinese Spring was released in 2018 by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium and is considered as the industry standard reference. To explore the effects of different reference genomes on variant discovery, 29 hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars from the ...

Genomic architecture of the resistance to Phytophthora cactorum 2 (RPc2) locus in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa)

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Phytophthora crown rot, caused by Phytophthora cactorum, is a soilborne disease with broad impacts on cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). A resistance locus, RPc2, was previously identified in octoploid strawberries, but the underlying genomic architecture and causal genes remained uncharacterized.
