Potato dihaploids uncover diverse alleles to facilitate diploid potato breeding

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred‐hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands.

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Phenotypic Validation and SSR Marker Association in Sesame Germplasm Contrasting for Dry Root Rot (Macrophomina phaseolina) Tolerance

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient oilseed crop of family Pedaliaceae, known for its quality oil, supplemented with dietary advantages due to the presence of bioactive compounds like sesamin and sesamolin. Phyllody and dry root rot (DRR) are the two major biotic stress factors that cause significant yield reduction and economic loss in ...

A novel single‐cell NAD‐ME C4 subtype integrated with CAM and bicarbonate use in an aquatic plant

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2386-2401, March 2026.
Summary Many plants maximize photosynthesis by using a CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM). Based on physiology, the freshwater plant Ottelia alismoides has three CCMs: C4 metabolism (NAD‐malic enzyme (NAD‐ME) subtype) and bicarbonate‐use during the day plus crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) at night and lacks Kranz anatomy. Here, we combined a range of

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1678-1696, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.

The Evolution and Origin of Allotetraploid Aegilops geniculata Revealed by the Homoeolog‐Resolved Genome Assembly

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1866-1884, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aegilops geniculata Roth is a tetraploid (MgMgUgUg; 2n = 4x = 28) wild relative of wheat and a valuable source of genetic diversity for improving agronomic traits. We present a high‐quality homoeolog‐resolved assembly and annotation of the Ae.
