Abstract Sexual maturation of male Atlantic salmon post‐smolts (‘jacking’) is undesired in aquaculture and seems to occur due to the intensification in modern facilities. Maturation depends on internal and external factors (temperature, photoperiod, feed availability, energy levels, body size, genetic background) that act on the brain‐pituitary‐gonad ...

Accelerating variety release with double haploids
The use of plant tissue culture to produce special lines called doubled haploids is reducing the time taken to breed new varieties of cereal crops by up to three years. Sue Broughton outlines what doubled haploids are, how they are produced, and why they

Microspore embryogenesis in vitro: the role of stresses
Gametic embryogenesis is one form of totipotency of plant cells, in which either male or female gametes are induced to form embryoids (sporophytes). Regeneration of haploid plants from embryoids and subsequent chromosome duplication result in doubled ...

Enhanced disease resistance in chickpea and canola via MAGPIE: Major‐Effect Allele and Genomic Polygenic Integration for Enhancement [PDF]
Abstract The global agricultural industry suffers major economic losses due to fungal diseases. Though selective breeding and introgression of resistance genes with major effects have helped to reduce the impact of these diseases, resistance breakdown occurs within a few generations.

ATXR5 and ATXR6 restrict meiotic crossover formation within heterochromatin in Arabidopsis
The Arabidopsis H3K27 mono‐methyltransferases ATXR5 and ATXR6 repress crossovers within meiotic heterochromatin, are required for heterochromatin condensation and H3K27me1 establishment, and specifically influence the maintenance of DNA methylation in meiocytes.

Recent advances in the genomics of sugarcane (Saccharum)
This review systematically summarizes advances in sugarcane genomics, evolution, classification, and breeding practices. It identifies key research bottlenecks and proposes an integrated research framework to facilitate predictive sugarcane breeding, which provides valuable references for genetic improvement of other complex polyploid crops.

Plant Polyploidization via Gene Interference, a robust technology for inducing polyploidy in various rice accessions, uses transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 to induce genomic duplication. Two strategies were used to directly induce fertile autotetraploid plants in the first generation, thereby substantially shortening the breeding cycle ...

Abstract The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a promising candidate for sustainable aquaculture in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, but genetic improvement has been hindered by a limited understanding of the genetic basis of economically important traits.
