Genome‐scale evidence for host‐associated lineage divergence in the parasitoid, Microctonus aethiopoides

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Host associations are primary drivers of genomic divergence, with clear phylogenetic separation observed between strains associated with Hypera and Sitona weevil hosts. Genomic diversity aligns with reproductive modes: sexually reproducing ancestral lineages maintain high heterozygosity, while derived asexual strains exhibit reduced heterozygosity and ...

Genomic dissection of divergent selection reveals a roadmap for reciprocal improvement of Chinese and American soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Genomic dissection of 2,377 soybean accessions identified 261 trait‐associated loci with distinct beneficial alleles in Chinese and American germplasms, enabled development of the Soybean Targeted Improvement Navigation System framework for targeted allele introgression, and provided genomic resources for knowledge‐driven soybean design breeding ...

Vicariance and dispersal in the Aegean Archipelago: Molecular phylogeography reveals the origin and divergence times of Hydropsyche (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Divergence times of Greek Hydropsyche lineages fall mostly within the Pliocene‐Pleistocene, rejecting ancient vicariance. Widespread species show shallow divergences consistent with dispersal, while island endemics exhibit deeper isolation patterns supporting a mixed vicariance‐dispersal model.

Full‐length coding sequence analysis of the voltage‐gated sodium channel and acetylcholinesterase genes reveals target‐site mutations and acetylcholinesterase gene duplication in housefly (Musca domestica) populations in Japanese livestock barns

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We simultaneously analysed insecticide resistance mutations in VGSC and AChE using NGS and hybridization probe capture in houseflies collected from livestock facilities for the first time. Resistance mutations in both VGSC and AChE were detected in most wild populations, suggesting widespread distribution of resistance genes.

Avirulence genes of Magnaporthe oryzae are a pathogen defense arsenal shaped by cognate rice resistance genes in the field

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Population structure and AVR gene presence/absence of 383 single‐spore isolates from the US Mo population. Summary We examined the frequency of and variation in eight avirulence (AVR) genes from 840 Magnaporthe oryzae field isolates collected from the Southern United States relative to rice resistance (R) genes deployed from 1959 to 2017. Little coding

Extending the limits of algal growth and stress resilience – the desert alga Chlorella ohadii as an emerging model

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Multiple facets of Chlorella ohadii biological properties and potential as a research model and biotechnology platform. Summary Since its isolation from the sand dunes of the Negev Desert over a decade ago, the unicellular green alga Chlorella ohadii has turned into a reference organism for studying photosynthesis, metabolism, and abiotic stress ...

Gap‐Free Cannabis sativa Assemblies Reveal Post‐Polyploid Genome Remodelling and Refine the Evolution of Cannabinoid Synthase Genes

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the therapeutic importance of cannabinoids, the scarcity of gap‐free Cannabis genomes has limited the dissection of the genetic and genomic basis of cannabinoid biosynthesis and genome evolution. Here, we generated two haplotype‐phased, gap‐free, gold‐standard assemblies and used them to investigate post‐polyploid genome remodelling ...

mRNA Decay Mediates Evolution and Biological Functions in Plant Gene Expression

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT mRNA decay is a key post‐transcriptional regulatory mechanism that fine‐tunes plant development and stress adaptation through dynamic mRNA stability control, bridging fundamental biology and crop improvement. Current knowledge of mRNA decay mechanisms in plants, largely derived from Arabidopsis, is poorly generalisable across plant lineages ...

Genome‐Wide Association Study Elucidates the Genetic Architecture of Manganese Tolerance in Brassica napus

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...

UV signature mutation hyperhotspots as genomic dosimeters

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Recurrent UV signature mutations are a sensitive and specific indicator of sun exposure. UV signature mutations (C → T mutations at dipyrimidine sites) were quantified using Duplex Sequencing and a stringent mutation calling protocol to identify true low‐abundance mutations.
