Balancing gain and diversity: Optimal contribution selection for sustainable genetic improvement in sugarcane

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ∼80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's complex polyploid genome and long breeding cycles, which limit the efficiency of traditional selection methods.

Understanding environmental adaptation in intermediate wheatgrass

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium) is a perennial grain crop that offers many environmental benefits through extensive root systems in addition to food production. IWG's distribution across broad environmental gradients in Eurasia provides a model system for studying climate adaptation genetics essential for developing ...

Genomic characterization of pre‐Green Revolution wheat landraces from the Nepalese and Bhutanese Himalayas reveals geographically structured diversity

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) landraces collected before the widespread regional adoption of Green Revolution cultivars provide a historical record of locally maintained germplasm. We characterized a panel of 202 accessions collected from Nepal and Bhutan between 1952 and 1958. Genotyping by Random Amplicon Sequencing‐Direct yielded 30,228 high‐

Genome evolution of Mediterranean olives following DNA repeats diversification

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract The olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea) is one of the most representative perennial crops of the Mediterranean Basin, yet the genomic processes underlying its domestication and diversification remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated repeatome variation across 20 accessions, including 11 wild oleasters and nine cultivated ...

Enhanced disease resistance in chickpea and canola via MAGPIE: Major‐Effect Allele and Genomic Polygenic Integration for Enhancement

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract The global agricultural industry suffers major economic losses due to fungal diseases. Though selective breeding and introgression of resistance genes with major effects have helped to reduce the impact of these diseases, resistance breakdown occurs within a few generations.
