Rapid sexual reproduction intensifies blooms of a mixotrophic dinoflagellate

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Sexual reproduction is fundamental to the ecology and evolution of eukaryotes, yet its dynamics in microbial eukaryotes are often cryptic. Dinophysis are specialist mixotrophs that must balance prey capture, cell division, and sexual recombination during blooms, but relatively little is known about the occurrence and role of sex in their ...

A Vertical Stacking Approach to Rapid Generation Cycling for Indoor Growth of Tall Annual Crops—The Case of Vicia faba L.

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 637-648, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Accelerating breeding cycles through rapid generation turnover is a demonstrated strategy to improve the rate of genetic gain in a range of staple crops. This study presents a vertically stacked accelerated single‐seed descent (aSSD) protocol for faba bean (Vicia faba L.), aimed at rapid generation cycling while ensuring robust plant ...

Spider Mites: Genetic Models to Inform Herbivore and Chelicerate Biology

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2026.
Chelicerates include spiders, scorpions and ticks, and also spider mites that damage crops. Many of the features that make spider mites crop pests have facilitated their adoption as genetically tractable chelicerates. The expanding genetic toolkit developed using spider mites has potential to inform genetic studies in other chelicerates as well ...

Derivation of Mouse Haploid Trophoblast Stem Cells

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Trophoblast stem (TS) cells are increasingly used as a model system for studying placentation and placental disorders. However, practical limitations of genetic manipulation have posed challenges for genetic analysis using TS cells.

First case of near haploid philadelphia negative B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia relapsing as acute myeloid leukemia following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Leukemia Research Reports, 2020
Herein we present a female patient aged 61 with Philadelphia negative acute lymphoblastic leukaemia demonstrating near haploid karyotype and abnormal TP53 expression at diagnosis, who relapsed with lineage switch as Acute Monocytic Leukemia post ...

A century of theories of balancing selection

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 804-825, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature – after all – ‘selects’ the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short.

Genome Sequence and Population Genomic Analysis of Cronartium quercuum f.sp. fusiforme

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Fusiform rust, caused by Cronartium quercuum f. sp. fusiforme (Cqf), is the most severe disease of planted southern pines in the south‐eastern United States. Despite the critical role pathogen genomics play in disease outcomes, the population structure and genetic variability of Cqf remain poorly characterised.

Sensitivity and specificity of a novel preimplantation genetic test for aneuploidy (PGT-A) test detecting the presence and origin of the error: creation of haploid embryos as controls

BMJ Connections Clinical Genetics and Genomics
Introduction Conventional PGT-A methods using NGS sequencing can not detect polyploidy or haploidy, embryo parental origin, or differentiate between mitotic and meiotic abnormalities.

Genetic Gains in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) Across the Globe: Yield, Quality and Adapting for Variable Weather Patterns

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 1, Page 142-165, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum [Desf.] Husnot) is cultivated globally and used to produce pasta, couscous, bulgur and other semolina products. With the growing world population and increasing food demand, it is pertinent to understand past trends in global food production to shape future endeavours.

Maternal Haploid Induction Through Egg Cell‐Specific Endopeptidases in Brassica napus: A Step Forward Towards Hybrid Fixation

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Hybrid fixation is an emerging breeding tool that eliminates the need to purchase costly hybrid seeds on an annual basis. However, this technique is limited to Arabidopsis, rice, and soybean with a severe issue of seed setting. Seed setting rate is affected due to targeting of cell division‐related genes and an increase in ploidy in each ...
