Homoeolog-specific retention and use in allotetraploid Arabidopsis suecica depends on parent of origin and network partners [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND:Allotetraploids carry pairs of diverged homoeologs for most genes. With the genome doubled in size, the number of putative interactions is enormous.

Seventy Million Years of Concerted Evolution of a Homoeologous Chromosome Pair, in Parallel, in Major Poaceae Lineages [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2011
Abstract Whole genome duplication ~70 million years ago provided raw material for Poaceae (grass) diversification. Comparison of rice (Oryza sativa), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), maize (Zea mays), and Brachypodium distachyon genomes revealed that one paleo-duplicated chromosome pair has experienced very different evolution than all the ...

Wheat breeding approaches for designing wheat to thrive in a warmer world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 754-763, May 2026.
Wheat is a vital food crop, accounting for approximately 20% of daily calories and protein consumed worldwide. However, modern‐day wheat is under pressure from global change. The improvement rate of wheat yields is not keeping up with the demand of our growing population. Furthermore, abiotic and biotic stressors are becoming more prevalent. This paper

Genetic transfer of resistance to powdery mildew and of an associated molecular marker from Aegilops ventricosa to hexaploid wheat. [PDF]

, 1987
Resistance to powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Erysiphe graminis f.sp. tritici, has been transferred from Aegilops ventricosa (genomes DvMv) to hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum, ABD).

Haploid Mutation Mapping Identifies a Homoeologous Non‐Reciprocal Translocation Linked to Reduced Fibre and Enhanced Protein in Brassica napus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3219-3243, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A key challenge for the genetic improvement of canola (Brassica napus), one of the world's most important oilseeds, is the limited natural variation for commercially important traits. The creation of new variation is hindered by the lack of functional knowledge about genes controlling these traits.

An improved assembly and annotation of the allohexaploid wheat genome identifies complete families of agronomic genes and provides genomic evidence for chromosomal translocations [PDF]

, 2017
Advances in genome sequencing and assembly technologies are generating many high-quality genome sequences, but assemblies of large, repeat-rich polyploid genomes, such as that of bread wheat, remain fragmented and incomplete.

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3032-3047, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.

Metabolite profiling characterises chemotypes of Musa diploids and triploids at juvenile and preflowering growth stages [PDF]

, 2019
Open Access Journal; Published online: 15 March 2019Bananas (Musa spp.) are consumed worldwide as dessert and cooking types. Edible banana varieties are for the most part seedless and sterile and therefore vegetatively propagated.

Transmembrane Protein GbTMEM209 Inhibits Fibre Elongation via Competitive Interaction With GbHOX3 in Gossypium barbadense

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3087-3105, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) produces premium‐quality fibres, yet the genetic basis underlying its fibre development remains elusive. Here, we identify two key non‐synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, G/C and G/A) in the gene Gbar_D13G024080, which encodes the TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 209 (TMEM209). These SNPs resulted in

Cisgenesis, a new tool for traditional plant breeding, should be exempted from the regulation on genetically modified organisms in a step by step approach [PDF]

, 2008
Modern potato breeding requires over 100,000 seedlings per new variety. Main reasons are (1) the increasing number of traits that have to be combined in this tetraploid vegetatively propagated crop, and (2) an increasing number of traits (e.g ...
