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.

Underground allies: Mycorrhizal flexibility facilitates orchid occurrence in post‐mining landscapes

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Epipactis helleborine associates with largely habitat‐specific fungal communities, with limited overlap between mining and woodland sites, yet maintains comparable genetic diversity across habitats. These results highlight the role of mycorrhizal flexibility in enabling habitat shifts and expanding ecological niches in human‐altered landscapes ...

Room to regenerate: microhabitats and the recruitment niche as drivers of mountain woodland restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...

Genetic diversity and population structure analysis of Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun) accessions using simple sequence repeat markers

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Brassica carinata A. Braun is an oilseed that originated in Ethiopia with a wide range of industrial and food applications. Exploring the genetic structure of the crop is crucial for breeding and conservation measures. Despite the fairly large number of B.

A composite model of maize heterosis based on structural complementation and functional variants

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Heterosis is critical to high maize (Zea mays L.) yields; however, its genetic mechanism remains poorly understood because different molecular markers reflect distinct genetic components. This study uses a North Carolina II mating design to evaluate grain yield per plant of 87 hybrids derived from 29 recombinant inbred lines and three testers ...

Genetic Parameters and Sex‐Specific Architecture of Observed and Latent Fertility Phenotypes in a Closed Breeding Nucleus of an Arctic Salmonid

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 667-678, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Successful reproduction is a key factor for efficient breeding schemes and sustainable animal farming. Aquaculture breeding programs rely heavily on small fractions of selected breeders to yield large production stocks, given the high fecundity typically observed in these species. In Sweden, Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is a salmonid with
