Drought Response in Miscanthus: Breeding Increases Radiation and Water Use Efficiency Over Three Contrasting Years in Central Germany

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
Two recently bred interspecies Miscanthus hybrids (WAT6 and WAT8) produced more biomass than standard Miscanthus × giganteus (M × g) in an irrigated versus rainfed field trial on light soil in Braunschweig, Germany, over three consecutive and highly contrasting years (2016–18).

Partial unidirectional translocation from 5AL to 7BS leads to dense spike in an EMS-induced wheat mutant

BMC Genomics
Background As the inflorescence of wheat, spike architecture largely determines grain productivity. Dissecting the genetic basis for the spike morphology of wheat can contribute to the designation of ideal spike morphology to improve grain production ...

Additive and Dominance Genome-Wide Association Studies Reveal the Genetic Basis of Heterosis Related to Growth Traits of Duhua Hybrid Pigs

Animals
Heterosis has been extensively used for pig genetic breeding and production, but the genetic basis of heterosis remains largely elusive. Crossbreeding between commercial and native breeds provides a good model to parse the genetic basis of heterosis ...

The Genetic Consequences of Dispersal and Immigration in a Wild Great Tit Population

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how dispersal impacts the genetic makeup of populations is essential for predicting their responses to environmental change. Gene flow—via within‐population dispersal and external immigration—shapes population health and evolutionary potential by boosting genetic diversity, but it can also counteract local adaptation.

Repeated Independent Formation of Triploid Lineages Contributes to Clonal Diversity in Heteronotia binoei Parthenogens

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Parthenogenesis, or all‐female clonal reproduction, is rare among vertebrates. This is often attributed to the selective disadvantages of assumed reduction of genetic diversity in the absence of sex. However, parthenogenetic vertebrates have highly complex evolutionary histories, with most arising through hybridisation and many being polyploid.

A Trojan horse inside the gates: Alien–native mating interactions in mixed populations of Solidago taxa

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 261-271, January 2026.
DAPI flow cytometry identified post‐invasion processes—hybridisation, introgression, and polyploidization—in mixed populations of Solidago canadensis, S. virgaurea and S. ×niederederi. Abstract The establishment and possible impacts of alien–native hybrids depend on their formation frequency and ability to spread using generative and vegetative ...

Introgression of Leptosphaeria maculans Resistance From Hexaploid Brassica Into Brassica napus

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Blackleg resistance was introgressed from resistant hexaploid Brassica. Phenotyping and genotyping was conducted to determine the presence of known resistance genes. The absence of resistance following phenotyping and genotyping suggests that novel resistance may have been introgressed from hexaploid Brassica.
