PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Plant hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important evolutionary process, and a deeper understanding of hybridization is necessary for its application to agriculture, conservation, and ecological solutions. Here, we assess correlates of hybridization in the megadiverse and societally important family Asteraceae and how and where hybrids have

The Genetic Legacy of Cretan Landrace Grapevines and Their Relationship to the Southern Levant
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Grapes are more than an agricultural crop; they are a vital part of human history, economy, and culture. Yet the origins of many traditional varieties remain unclear. By studying the genetics of Cretan grapes, we discovered that they are a “genetic mosaic”—combining local lineages with those from the Southern Levant and Eastern Europe.

, 2015 (A) Strategy for autosome-linked introgression. Introgression was initiated by crossing GFP-expressing C. briggsae males (in AF16 background) with C. nigoni (JU1421) virgin (L4 stage) females. The GFP-expressing F1 L4 females were then backcrossed with C.

Ghost Introgression: Spooky Gene Flow in the Distant Past [PDF]
, 2020 Evolution is a continuous trial and error process in which most lineages go extinct without leaving fossil remains. Many of these lineages would be closely related and occasionally hybridized with lineages that gave rise to extant species.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Megadiverse genera represent the highest concentration of plant diversity, but these plants are also located primarily in countries in the Global South where huge gaps in botanical knowledge remain. This study summarized two centuries of Begonia collection records in the Philippines to show how historical events coincide with collection and taxonomic ...

Introgression impacts the evolution of bacteria, but species borders are rarely fuzzy
Nature CommunicationsMost bacteria engage in gene flow through homologous recombination, and this mechanism may play a crucial role in maintaining species cohesiveness, much like sexual reproduction does in eukaryotes. However, introgression has been reported in bacteria and

The Sustainability of Robusta Coffee Under Global Change—A Review
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This contribution reviews the scientific evidence concerning climate resiliency claims as well as sustainability issues for robusta coffee (Coffea canephora), focusing on: climate change analyses, climate parameters, soil water, and farming inputs, especially irrigation and synthetic fertilizer use.

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Genomic introgression through interspecific hybridization has been observed in some species of the freshwater fish family Cobitidae. Within this family, a Cobitis hankugensis–Iksookimia longicorpa diploid–triploid hybrid species complex on the Korean ...

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).

Demography-driven and adaptive introgression in a hybrid zone of the Armeria syngameon [dataset]
, 2023 Syngameons represent networks of otherwise distinct species interconnected by limited gene exchange. Although most studies have focused on how species maintain their cohesiveness despite gene flow in these networks, there are additional relevant ...
