Critical Windows of Air Pollution Exposure During Spermatogenesis and Intrauterine Insemination Outcomes

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Male preconception health remains a critically under‐addressed area of family planning. While research suggests air pollution may harm semen quality, downstream impacts on pregnancy, particularly for more vulnerable infertility treatment populations, are understudied.

Through the Sands of Time: Evolutionary History and Systematics of the Awl‐Headed Snakes (Colubridae: Lytorhynchus) in the Saharo‐Sindian Region

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The psammophilous colubrid genus Lytorhynchus is widely distributed in the deserts of the Saharo‐Sindian region and adjacent areas. The taxonomy of the genus and the number of recognised species have remained unstable since the last taxonomic revision in 1970, with differing views on the taxonomic status of L. gaddi and L. kennedyi.

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 ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

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 ...

Advancing Thermotolerance in Beans: Integrating Physiology, Genomics, and Breeding for Climate Adaptation

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

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 ...

Investigating the Possibility of Wolbachia‐ and Cardinium‐Induced Parthenogenesis in Two Mite Species

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
In arthropods, thelytokous parthenogenesis, in which females develop from unfertilised eggs, is often associated with reproductive manipulation by endosymbiotic bacteria such as Wolbachia and Cardinium. This study investigated whether thelytokous parthenogenesis in two mite species, Amblyseius herbicolus (Phytoseiidae) and Czenspinskia ...

Optical mapping reveals a higher level of large‐scale structural variants in a family with paternally transmitted myotonic dystrophy and independent Parkinson's disease

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 270, Issue 1, Page 83-97, September 2026.
Abstract Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a clinically challenging multisystem neuromuscular hereditary disorder, with generational increase in severity and earlier age at onset. It is caused by an unstable cytosine‐thymine‐guanine repeat expansion at the DMPK locus, accompanied by associated genetic and epigenetic modifications.

Resistance of Botrytis cinerea to anilinopyrimidine fungicides: A novel ARMS‐PCR method for the detection of Bcpos5 mutations and characterization of resistance using CRISPR/Cas9 editing

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8189-8198, September 2026.
A TETRA‐primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T‐ARMS‐PCR) method was developed for simultaneous detection of the L412F/V and G408V mutations. L412F/V mutants were created using the CRISPR/Cas tool and no fitness cost was observed.
