Potato dihaploids uncover diverse alleles to facilitate diploid potato breeding

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred‐hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands.

Do maize chromosomes contribute to genetic variance in proportion to their size in elite populations?

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) are often assumed to be uniformly distributed across the genome in modeling and simulation studies. Our aim was to assess whether the contribution of each chromosome to genetic variance (VG) is proportional to its length in maize (Zea mays L.).

Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 194-203, March 2026.
In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.

Genomic Prediction Ability for Novel Profitability Traits Using Different Models in Nelore Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 2, Page 244-255, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy, bias and dispersion of genomic predictions for accumulated profitability (APF) and profit per kilogram of liveweight gain (PFT) in Nelore cattle using different prediction approaches. The dataset consisted of 3969 phenotypic records for each trait. The pedigree harboured information from 38,930

Single‐Step Genomic Predictions for Growth and Carcass Traits in Nordic Charolais and Hereford Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 2, Page 283-295, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In order to investigate the applicability and efficiency of genomic selection for growth and carcass traits in Nordic beef cattle, single‐step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) was applied in 4321 Charolais and 4532 Hereford animals with information on approximately 43,000 SNPs each.
