Mapping of Fire Blight Resistance QTL in the European Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Cultivar ‘Petersbirne’

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breeding of pear (Pyrus communis) cultivars that meet market requirements and are at the same time resistant to fire blight is a challenging task beacuse appropriate resistance donors are scarce. To identify valuable resistance sources, phenotypic screening and genetic characterization are indispensable.

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 ...

Genomic and Physiological Insights Into Heat–Drought Tolerance in Wheat Through GWAS and Phenotypic Evaluation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change‐driven heat and drought stresses during reproductive stages significantly threaten wheat productivity. To investigate the genetic and physiological basis of combined heat–drought (HD) tolerance, we evaluated 345 wheat genotypes under three environments of HD stresses, non‐stress glasshouse conditions and a late‐sowing field ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Advances in large DNA fragment assembly for microbial cell factory engineering

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The efficient, rapid, and reliable assembly of DNA fragments is essential for advancing metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. With the rapid advancement of DNA synthesis and assembly technologies, the scale of DNA assembly has expanded from single genes to metabolic pathways and even genomes.

AN OVERVIEW OF HAPLAN OVERVIEW OF HAPLOID AND DOUBLE HAPLOID PRODUCTION METHODS IN WHEATOID AND DOUBLE HAPLOID PRODUCTION METHODS IN WHEAT

, 2022
For about a century, researchers have been working on haploidy approach. Progressively, they discovered the importanceand usefulness of haploids in various research fields. On the other hand, it is suggested that climate change impacts on crop production,especially wheat, requires rapid and efficient methods of plant breeding to produce new cultivars ...

Wheat fertilization affects oviposition preference of wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Géhin) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6740-6748, July 2026.
Wheat fertilization increased plant growth, nitrogen and protein levels, influencing the wheat volatile profile and affecting female wheat midge choice to lay eggs. This could partly result from the observed changes in the VOC profile. Abstract BACKGROUND In Canada, the orange wheat blossom midge (hereafter called wheat midge), Sitodiplosis mosellana ...

Reductive Methylation: An Alternative to Lysine → Arginine Mutagenesis

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Replacing lysine with arginine, the standard genetic approach to eliminate amine reactivity, alters physicochemical properties and leaves the N terminus unprotected. Here, reductive methylation is characterized as a conservative chemical alternative. Complete dimethylation of human ribonucleases preserves thermostability, protein–protein interaction ...

The effect of phytosulfokine alpha on haploid embryogenesis and gene expression of Brassica napus microspore cultures

Frontiers in Plant Science
Microspore embryogenesis (ME) is the most powerful tool for creating homozygous lines in plant breeding and molecular biology research. It is still based mainly on the reprogramming of microspores by temperature, osmotic and/or nutrient stress.

De Novo Genome Assemblies of Four Rainbow Trout Genetic Lines Reveal Structural Variants in Pursuit of a Pangenome Reference

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exhibit extensive genomic diversity shaped by domestication, life history and geographic origin. To advance the development of a comprehensive pangenome reference, we present new de novo genome assemblies of two genetically and ecologically distinct lines: Whale Rock (WR; wild, landlocked, Central California)
