An IRAT109 NAM population: Genetic characterization and mapping utility for trait dissection in japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.)

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Complex agronomic traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.) are controlled by many genetic loci; however, dissection is often constrained in biparental mapping populations by limited recombination and narrow genetic diversity, and in diversity sets by spurious associations arising from cryptic relatedness.

Feasibility and pitfalls of combining small subpopulations for genome‐wide association analysis of maize (Zea mays L.) kernel traits

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) typically require large populations to achieve sufficient statistical power; however, maintaining large populations is labor‐intensive and costly. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of improving GWAS detection power by strategically integrating small maize (Zea mays L.) subpopulations for kernel‐

Enhanced disease resistance in chickpea and canola via MAGPIE: Major‐Effect Allele and Genomic Polygenic Integration for Enhancement

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
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.

Photoperiodism‐Specific QTLs Support Switch‐Like Genetic Control of Obligate Long‐Day Photoperiodism in Mimulus guttatus

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.
Photoperiodic flowering is well studied in facultative photoperiodism plants, but the genetic basis of obligate photoperiodism remains poorly understood. Using QTL mapping and RNA‐seq in Mimulus guttatus, we identified photoperiodism‐specific QTLs that are distinct from flowering‐time QTLs, supporting switch‐like genetic control of obligate long‐day ...

Genetic Control of Canalization for Twinning Rates in Polypay and Rambouillet Sheep Using Threshold or Double Hierarchical Generalized Linear Models

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 807-820, November 2026.
ABSTRACT In most sheep production systems, the ideal scenario is for every ewe to lamb and successfully raise twins. However, selection for increased number of lambs born (NLB) is often accompanied by a higher incidence of triplet and higher‐order births, which increases management challenges and producer reluctance to intensify selection for this ...

Population Differentiation and Polygenic Selection in the Finnish Ayrshire Cows Selected on Genomic Information

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 774-783, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

Genomic inbreeding between flocks in Istrian Sheep

open access: yesZbornik radova 59. hrvatskog i 19. međunarodnog Simpozija agronoma
Population history, production management and selection pressure affect genome architecture, leading to reduced genetic diversity and increased frequency of runs of homozygosity (ROH). ROH has been used as a usefull method for estimating the inbreeding coefficient at the genome level over the last decade.

The MexMAGIC population reveals the genetic architecture of traits exhibiting clinal variation in Mexican native maize

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1296-1313, November 2026.
The MexMAGIC population mixes native maize varieties from across Mexico to study functional genetic diversity. Summary Defining the genetic basis of local adaptation is a key goal of evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Theory predicts that when selective pressures follow differences in the environment, a cline will be established.
