Mapping and Functional Characterization of Homologous Genes AhSUCA06 and AhSUCA16 Underlying Sucrose, Oil and Protein Contents in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4844-4859, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed and cash crop, and seed sucrose content (SSC), seed oil content (SOC) and seed protein content (SPC) are key determinants of seed flavour, texture, and overall quality. Identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes associated with SSC, SOC and SPC is therefore of ...

Introgressed Variation in TaMYB7‐A1 Drives Graded Dormancy and Climate‐Adaptive Pre‐Harvest Sprouting Resistance in Wheat

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
TaMYB7‐A1 directly activates TaABI5 to enhance ABA signaling and regulate ABA‐GA homeostasis, enforcing seed dormancy. Its superior allele, derived from wild einkorn introgression, harbors a MITE insertion that elevates expression and two amino acid substitutions that enhance transcriptional activity, collectively generating graded PHS resistance for ...

Age predicts Alzheimer's in Down syndrome better than MRI, plasma, or cognition

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia in Down syndrome (DS) occurs at predictable ages. It is unclear whether age can differentiate across AD stages (amyloid positivity, tau positivity, mild cognitive impairment [MCI], dementia). METHODS: Using data from the Alzheimer's Biomarker Consortium–Down Syndrome, we analyzed how well age ...

Effectiveness of \u3ci\u3eTaDreb-B1\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3e1-FEH w3\u3c/i\u3e KASP Markers in Spring and Winter Wheat Populations for Marker-Assisted Selection to Improve Drought Tolerance [PDF]

, 2023
Due to the advances in DNA markers, kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers could accelerate breeding programs and genetically improve drought tolerance. Two previously reported KASP markers, TaDreb-B1 and 1-FEH w3, were investigated in this study

Identification of quantitative trait loci for kernel traits in a wheat cultivar Chuannong16

BMC Genetics, 2019
Background Kernel length (KL), kernel width (KW) and thousand-kernel weight (TKW) are key agronomic traits in wheat breeding. Chuannong16 (‘CN16’) is a commercial cultivar with significantly longer kernels than the line ‘20828’.

Structural MRI across lifespan reveals differential thalamic trajectories in Down syndrome

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Up to 90% of Down syndrome (DS) patients develop Alzheimer's disease (AD). Sleep disturbance, affecting over 75% of DS patients, is implicated in AD pathogenesis. The thalamus, central to sleep and arousal, shows early vulnerability in DS‐related AD.

Development of Functional Molecular Markers for Viviparous Germination Resistance in Rice

Agronomy
Rice (Oryza sativa) plays a pivotal role in global food security. Understanding the genetics of rice cultivation is crucial, particularly for traits such as viviparous germination, which significantly influences germination and yield.

Rust resistance in barley accessions County and BHS248

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Rusts can cause devastating losses of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in epidemic years. Several reactions to Puccinia hordei (Rph) genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to barley leaf rust (BLR) have been documented. In contrast, there is a dearth of characterized resistance sources against stem rust (SR) caused by Puccinia graminis.

Thirty years of breeding for Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat: A success story

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB or scab) is a devastating disease affecting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. In the US Northern Great Plains growing region, breeding programs began focusing on disease resistance in the 1990s as FHB became a major concern for the growers.
