Life, 2018 The domino theory of gene loss states that when some particular gene loses its function and cripples a cellular function, selection will relax in all functionally related genes, which may allow for the non-functionalization and loss of these genes.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sucrose transport and starch accumulation are crucial carbohydrate metabolic processes in rice, playing essential roles during late pollen development to ensure pollen maturation, fertility and high grain production. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating sucrose transport and starch accumulation during rice pollen development remain ...

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis
Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

The origin of mutational epistasis
European Biophysics JournalThe interconnected processes of protein folding, mutations, epistasis, and evolution have all been the subject of extensive analysis throughout the years due to their significance for structural and evolutionary biology. The origin (molecular basis) of epistasis (the non-additive interactions between mutations) is still, nonetheless, unknown.

Artificial intelligence‐powered plant phenomics: Progress, challenges, and opportunities
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI), a key driver of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is being rapidly integrated into plant phenomics to automate sensing, accelerate data analysis, and support decision‐making in phenomic prediction and genomic selection.

Combining phenomic and genomic selection for pea breeding improvement
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a strategic crop in the development of sustainable agriculture. However, the genetic gain remains limited despite advances in breeding. Genomic selection holds promise to accelerate varietal improvement, but its high implementation cost restricts its use in crops.

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 7, Page 1715-1734, 1 October 2026.Mutual exclusivity and co‐occurrence of oncogenic mutations reflect functional antagonism or dependence and may inform therapeutic strategies. However, most studies overlook variant‐level patterns. In this comprehensive, cross‐cohort analysis of BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR mutation subtypes, the most significant mutual exclusivity pairs overlapped with ...

A composite model of maize heterosis based on structural complementation and functional variants
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Heterosis is critical to high maize (Zea mays L.) yields; however, its genetic mechanism remains poorly understood because different molecular markers reflect distinct genetic components. This study uses a North Carolina II mating design to evaluate grain yield per plant of 87 hybrids derived from 29 recombinant inbred lines and three testers ...

Epistasis para producción de granos y caracteres de la planta en una población de maíz tropical
BioagroEn maíz, estudios sobre la importancia de la epistasis en la herencia de caracteres cuantitativos han mostrado resultados contradictorios; por lo tanto, es de gran relevancia determinar la influencia de los efectos epistáticos involucrados en la herencia
