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 ...

Molecular polymorphisms that underlie trait variation in crops: Lessons learned from soybean
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Genetic variation within a germplasm is important in crop improvement, providing a foundation for breeders to develop new varieties. Traits of agronomic and economic importance are often mapped to identify the genetic basis of observed phenotypes, oftentimes using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis.

White–Sutton Syndrome: Insight of an Italian Cohort of 19 Subjects
Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 335-340, February 2026.New insights into White–Sutton syndrome with a collection of 19 Italian patients. Due to its complexity, we stress the importance of a systematic evaluation following the diagnosis and a thoughtful management of patients. Preliminary genotype–phenotype correlation analysis suggests the association between disruptive splicing variants and more severe ...

Loss of E3 ligase HvST1 function substantially increases distal crossover frequency
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1325-1341, February 2026.Summary This study characterizes the function of a grass‐specific E3 ubiquitin ligase, HvST1, in regulating synapsis and crossover (CO) formation during meiosis in barley (Hordeum vulgare). In large‐genome cereals, COs are predominantly restricted to distal chromosomal regions, limiting genetic recombination and breeding flexibility.

Contemporary hybridization among Arabis floodplain species creates opportunities for adaptation
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1542-1557, February 2026.Summary Hybridization between closely related species is increasingly recognized as a major source of biodiversity. Yet, whether it can create advantageous trait combinations while purging harmful alleles remains unknown. To address this question, we studied Arabis nemorensis and Arabis sagittata, two endangered species that currently hybridize in a ...
