Genetic variation and heritability of haploid frailty in maize

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
This research investigated the variation in haploid frailty (%HF), which is the difference in trait performance between isogenic haploid and diploid maize lines, and the heritability of haploid frailty for different agronomic traits.

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

open access: yesLegume 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 ...

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

open access: yesNew 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

open access: yesThe 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.

A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1904-1924, September 2026.
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

Compatibility and Stability Analysis of Haploid Inducers under Different Source Germplasm and Seasons in Maize Using GGE Biplot

open access: yesAgronomy
Multiple factors can affect the R1-nj purple kernel expression and seed set, reducing its efficiency in identifying haploids in maize. The complex interaction among the haploid inducer (HI), source germplasm (SG), and season (S) is inevitable in in vivo ...

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

open access: yesPest 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.

Advances in large DNA fragment assembly for microbial cell factory engineering

open access: yesQuantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The efficient, rapid, and reliable assembly of DNA fragments is essential for advancing metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. With the rapid advancement of DNA synthesis and assembly technologies, the scale of DNA assembly has expanded from single genes to metabolic pathways and even genomes.

Haploids can be induced in knockout mutants of OsPLA1, but not OsDMP3 or OsDMP6, in rice

open access: yesCrop Journal
Doubled haploid (DH) technology is an important tool in crop breeding because it can significantly accelerate the breeding process. ZmPLA1/MATL/NLD and ZmDMP are two key genes controlling haploid induction (HI) in maize, exhibiting a synergistic effect ...
