Balancing gain and diversity: Optimal contribution selection for sustainable genetic improvement in sugarcane

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ∼80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's complex polyploid genome and long breeding cycles, which limit the efficiency of traditional selection methods.

Uncovering the Diversity of Mesostoinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): A Glimpse Into the Australian Fauna Through a Study of Kangaroo Island

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mesostoinae are a poorly understood braconid subfamily with unresolved morphological challenges and a complex taxonomic history. This study provides insight into the biodiversity of this subfamily on Kangaroo Island (KI), South Australia.

Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Adult Abundance and Larval Host Plant Use in the Ord River Irrigation Area, Western Australia

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a highly polyphagous lepidopteran pest; however, little is known about its seasonal population dynamics or larval host plant use in northern Australia. Improved understanding of the ecology of S. litura is increasingly important given the anticipated expansion of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton production in
