Photoperiodism‐Specific QTLs Support Switch‐Like Genetic Control of Obligate Long‐Day Photoperiodism in Mimulus guttatus

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.
Photoperiodic flowering is well studied in facultative photoperiodism plants, but the genetic basis of obligate photoperiodism remains poorly understood. Using QTL mapping and RNA‐seq in Mimulus guttatus, we identified photoperiodism‐specific QTLs that are distinct from flowering‐time QTLs, supporting switch‐like genetic control of obligate long‐day ...

Genetic Control of Canalization for Twinning Rates in Polypay and Rambouillet Sheep Using Threshold or Double Hierarchical Generalized Linear Models

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 807-820, November 2026.
ABSTRACT In most sheep production systems, the ideal scenario is for every ewe to lamb and successfully raise twins. However, selection for increased number of lambs born (NLB) is often accompanied by a higher incidence of triplet and higher‐order births, which increases management challenges and producer reluctance to intensify selection for this ...

Population Differentiation and Polygenic Selection in the Finnish Ayrshire Cows Selected on Genomic Information

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 774-783, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

The MexMAGIC population reveals the genetic architecture of traits exhibiting clinal variation in Mexican native maize

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1296-1313, November 2026.
The MexMAGIC population mixes native maize varieties from across Mexico to study functional genetic diversity. Summary Defining the genetic basis of local adaptation is a key goal of evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Theory predicts that when selective pressures follow differences in the environment, a cline will be established.
