Genomic prediction in quinoa across contrasting environments using statistical and machine learning models

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is gaining global importance for its nutritional value and adaptability; however, breeding progress remains limited. Genomic selection (GS), combined with rapid generation cycles, offers a strategy to accelerate genetic improvement.

Harnessing exotic germplasm for red clover improvement: Tracking genomic introgression and deploying genomic selection

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally important temperate forage legume. Its symbiosis with soil‐borne rhizobia enables nitrogen fixation, and its ability to produce quality forage under diverse soil conditions enhances pasture productivity, particularly during water deficits.

Mining rare haplotypes to accelerate precision breeding in rice

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomics has made significant progress, with over 13000 genome sequences available and more than 4500 genes functionally characterized. However, limited haplotype‐level information has constrained the effective deployment of these genes in breeding programs.

Effects of Lactobacillus Alone and in Combination With Saccharomyces as Alternatives to Antibiotics on Performance and Immunity in Laying Hens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Supplementation with Lactobacillus plantarum alone or combined with Saccharomyces cerevisiae improved laying performance, egg quality, immune response and caecal microbial balance by increasing beneficial lactic acid bacteria and reducing coliforms, demonstrating probiotics as a safe and sustainable alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in ...

Creb3l1 Overexpression Improves Flexor Tendon Repair in Aged Rats

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 9, September 2026.
Aging impairs flexor tendon repair, with aged tendons showing reduced Col1a1 and Sparc expression and compromised mechanical properties. The transcription factor Creb3l1 binds both gene promoters and drives their expression; its overexpression restores Col1a1 and Sparc levels and improves the gliding function, healing strength, and elastic modulus of ...

Lactoferrin Deficiency During Lactation Causes Adult Obesity‐Related Metabolic Disease Through Persistent Adipose Dysfunction Driven by Impaired Adipocyte Development

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Lactational lactoferrin deficiency exerts lasting effects on epididymal adipose tissue development from lactation into adulthood: it impairs adipocyte hyperplasia and induces pathological hypertrophy, resulting in lower body weight yet exacerbated metabolic dysfunction under a high‐fat diet in adulthood.

Mito‐Nuclear Discordance and Species Boundaries in the Freshwater Fish Genus Cyprinion Revealed by Genome‐Wide SNPs

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The cyprinid genus Cyprinion exhibits complex and contentious species boundaries across western Asia due to extensive morphological overlap and shallow mitochondrial divergence. Using integrated COI and genome‐wide SNP analyses, we identified distinct genomic clusters among several taxa despite shared mitochondrial haplotypes, revealing signatures of ...

Contrasting Dispersal Histories Shape Distinct Evolutionary Trajectories Between Malesian and Pantropical Talipariti (Malvaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Talipariti (Malvaceae) comprises two lineages with contrasting geographic ranges across Malesia: a pantropical sea hibiscus group and a Papuan group restricted to New Guinea and adjacent islands. Using phylogenomics, divergence‐time estimation, and quantitative biogeographical modelling applied to herbarium‐derived genomic data, we demonstrate that the

Spatial‐Scale Evolutionary Bias Sheds Light on the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using Escherichia coli as a model species, our experimental findings reveal that populations in high‐fitness‐gain geographic regions undergo rapid expansion, competitively excluding populations from low‐fitness‐gain regions. This results in adaptive evolution that is biased toward areas with higher fitness potential.
