Whole‐genome duplication promotes phenotypic and genetic adaptation to elevation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Fitness of diploids (2x) and tetraploids (4x) of Biscutella laevigata from low (circles) and high (triangles) elevation transplanted across elevation at 585, 1236 and 1967 m above sea level. Summary Whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is often considered as either an adaptive dead‐end or a facilitator of rapid adaptation under changing environments.

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Assessment of Pollen Production, Pollen Viability, Autofertility and Paternal Success in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) for Better Exploitation of Grain Yield Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In animal‐pollinated plants, pollen dispersal depends on several plant and animal characteristics that can influence the paternal success of a plant. Paternal success affects the genetic contribution of a genotype to the next generation, which is relevant to plant breeding.

maxRgain—An R Package for Maximising Genetic Gains in Polyclonal Selection

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyclonal selection, which was developed in the context of ancient grapevine varieties, uses intravarietal variability to improve the resilience and sustainability of viticulture. Based on quantitative genetics and linear mixed models, this approach predicts genotypic effects to select a group of clones that, as a whole, satisfy target ...

Additive Variance and Open‐Pollinated Progenies Under Mixed Mating

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pollinated progeny tests are still widely interpreted as if all the individuals within a maternal family were true half‐sibs. However, in species with mixed mating systems, this assumption is often biologically unrealistic and may bias the estimation of the additive variance, narrow‐sense heritability and expected selection gains.
