The Mottling Phenotype in Chickens Shows Genetic Heterogeneity and Is Caused by Mutations at the EDNRB2 Locus

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mottling is a widespread intra‐feather pattern present in many breeds of domestic chickens worldwide and inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. An amino acid substitution Arg332His in the EDNRB2 gene was previously reported as responsible for the mottling phenotype in several Japanese breeds of chickens.

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2511-2547, August 2026.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...

Validation of SNP Markers for Diversity Analysis, Quality Control, and Trait Selection in a Biofortified Cassava Population

Plants
A validated marker system is crucial to running an effective genomics-assisted breeding program. We used 36 Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) markers to genotype 376 clones from the biofortified cassava pipeline, and fingerprinted 93 of these clones

Genetic Basis of Seedling Root Traits in Common Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Identified by Genome-Wide Linkage Mapping

Plants
Common wheat production is significantly influenced by abiotic stresses. Identifying the genetic loci for seedling root traits and developing the available molecular markers are crucial for breeding high yielding and stable varieties. In this study, five
