A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Genomic evidence for intraspecific hybridization in a clonal and extremely halotolerant yeast
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background The black yeast Hortaea werneckii (Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) is one of the most extremely halotolerant fungi, capable of growth at NaCl concentrations close to saturation. Although dothideomycetous fungi are typically haploid, the reference

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.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 ...

Research on a Multi-Lens Multispectral Camera for Identifying Haploid Maize Seeds
AgricultureHaploid breeding can shorten the breeding period of new maize varieties and is an important means to increase maize yield. In the breeding program, a large number of haploid seeds need to be screened, and this step is mainly achieved manually, which ...

DOM: Dual Optical Mapping Integrating Sequence‐Specific Barcodes and A/T Density Profiles
Small Methods, EarlyView.Dual Optical Mapping (DOM) combines sequence‐specific barcodes and an A/T profile to generate complementary genomic signatures along single DNA molecules. The integration of sparse and dense mapping information enables accurate and confident genome mapping, facilitating reliable localization of long DNA molecules in complex genomes, including the ...

Effect of Propylparaben on In Vitro Maturation of Porcine Oocytes and Embryo Development
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Parabens are synthetic chemicals that, due to their antibacterial and fungicidal effects, are widely used as preservatives in food, cosmetics, and personal care products, such as shampoos, hair conditioners, body creams, soaps, deodorants, makeup, wet wipes, lotions, female hygiene products, and vaginal lubricants. Several years ago, they were

Genetic Tools in the Nakaseomyces clade for Evolutionary Comparisons of Signal Transduction Pathways
Yeast, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The genus Nakaseomyces provides four species that are closely related but have different characteristics. For example, N. glabratus (formerly known as Candida glabrata) is a common human pathogen, whereas N. bracarensis and N. nivariensis have been isolated in clinical settings but are not common human pathogens. N.

Mutagenesis by retroviral insertion in chemical mutagen-generated quasi-haploid mammalian cells
BioTechniques, 2007 Diploidy is a major obstacle to the mutagenic analysis of function in cultured mammalian cells. Here, we show that 6–8 rounds of chemical mutagenesis generates quasi-haploid cells that can be used as targets for insertional mutagenesis using a specially ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.
