Advances in the Integration of Genomic and Phenomic Tools in Cowpea Breeding for Improving Stress Resilience and Grain Yield and Quality

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a multi‐use crop highly valued as a food crop, high‐protein fodder, and sustainable cover crop. Yet, it remains underused, and yields in most growing regions are below the crop's potential due to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses.

Preliminary study documents variable accuracy and inclusion among biology instructor gender/sex definitions

Natural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Society generally presents sex inaccurately as a binary variable based on one or few trait(s), causing myriad issues, including the pursuit of reductionist biology experiments, the creation of laws that limit the rights of women, people with queer genders, and intersex folks, and greater student endorsement of gender stereotypes in ...

Genome‐wide association analysis of resistance to scald in an adapted multiparent winter malting barley population

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Scald, caused by the fungus Rhynchosporium graminicola Heinsen 1897, is a major foliar disease in winter malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L). Resistance to scald in winter malting barley is controlled by major and minor resistance genes. We used a population of 377 lines derived from biparental crosses among five winter malting barley parents ...

Identification and evaluation of low-pH-tolerant Cheongcheong/Nagdong-double haploid rice lines via QTL analysis

BMC Plant Biology
Low soil pH (acidic soil) is one of the most severe environmental constraints that severely inhibits crop production. Here, we screened 134 lines of the Cheongcheong/Nagdong Double Haploid (CNDH) rice population under low pH conditions to uncover ...

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

The 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.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 1574-1602, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Assessment of Lectin Staining Biomarkers for GNE Myopathy Gene Therapy

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 5, Page 1456-1470, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims GNE myopathy (GNEM) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the UDP‐N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) 2‐epimerase/N‐acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) kinase (GNE) gene, which encodes a required enzyme for sialic acid (SA) biosynthesis.

Prediction of matrilineal specific patatin-like protein governing in-vivo maternal haploid induction in maize using support vector machine and di-peptide composition

Amino Acids
The mutant matrilineal (mtl) gene encoding patatin-like phospholipase activity is involved in in-vivo maternal haploid induction in maize. Doubling of chromosomes in haploids by colchicine treatment leads to complete fixation of inbreds in just one ...

Introgressed Brassica napus × Sinapis alba enhance resistance to the crucifer flea beetle (Phyllotreta cruciferae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10752-10764, November 2026.
This study demonstrates that Brassica napus lines with Sinapis alba introgressions enhanced resistance against Phyllotreta cruciferae, resulting in reduced feeding damage and improved seedling physiological performance. The introgressed lines showed strong potential as genetic resources for developing more resilient and sustainable canola varieties ...

The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 2359-2372, November 2026.
Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...
