Genomic structure and ex situ conservation of the North American grapevine Vitis labrusca

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The North American wild grapevine species Vitis labrusca is an important source of disease resistance and climate resilience traits for breeding new grapevine cultivars. To ensure its continued use in breeding, V. labrusca must be accurately identified and genetically diverse material must be conserved.

Genetic introgression of farmed salmon in native populations: quantifying the relative influence of population size and frequency of escapees

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2015
Farmed escapees may threaten the genetic integrity of native salmon populations through interbreeding. However, introgression requires survival until maturation, successful reproduction and successful early development. These traits are often compromised

Multiple QTL for horticultural traits and quantitative resistance to Phytophthora infestans linked on Solanum habrochaites chromosome 11. [PDF]

, 2014
Previously, a Phytophthora infestans resistance QTL from Solanum habrochaites chromosome 11 was introgressed into cultivated tomato (S. lycopersicum). Fine mapping of this resistance QTL using near-isogenic lines (NILs) revealed some co-located QTL with ...

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

Leveraging shared ancestral variation to detect local introgression.

PLoS Genetics
Introgression is a common evolutionary phenomenon that results in shared genetic material across non-sister taxa. Existing statistical methods such as Patterson's D statistic can detect introgression by measuring an excess of shared derived alleles ...

Inferring kangaroo phylogeny from incongruent nuclear and mitochondrial genes [PDF]

, 2013
The marsupial genus Macropus includes three subgenera, the familiar large grazing kangaroos and wallaroos of M. (Macropus) and M. (Osphranter), as well as the smaller mixed grazing/browsing wallabies of M. (Notamacropus).

Speciation with gene flow

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

Adaptive Introgression as an Evolutionary Force: A Meta‐Analysis of Knowledge Trends

Evolutionary Applications
There is growing evidence for the role of introgressive hybridization in promoting species adaptation (i.e., adaptive introgression) owing to increasing genomic studies on a diversity of taxa over the past decades.
