Etymology and entomology: The semiotics and ethics of multispecies gene nomenclatures

open access: yesJournal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract This article examines controversies surrounding gene names that are perceived as humorous in the context of fruit flies but are considered rude in the clinical context of human medicine. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in insect laboratories, interviews with entomologists and geneticists, and an analysis of scientific and clinical ...

Fine‐tuning quantitative agronomic traits by manipulating gene copy number in rice

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1609-1616, August 2026.
Although plant pan‐genome studies have revealed extensive copy number variations, their phenotypic consequences remain poorly understood. Here, we manipulated the copy number of OsMADS18 in rice (Oryza sativa) cv ‘Hitomebore’ using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

Kinetic parameter prediction using neural networks identifies limitations to C4 photosynthesis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1578-1594, August 2026.
Schematic overview of the generation of artificial training data and training of neural networks in C4TUNE. Summary Kinetic models of photosynthesis enable time‐resolved predictions of traits related to this key process and provide the means to identify factors limiting photosynthesis.

EMF2 deficiency disrupts epigenetic and chromatin organization landscapes, blocking root regeneration competence in Arabidopsis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1792-1810, August 2026.
EMF2 mutation alters transcriptomic profiles in Arabidopsis calli while retaining responsiveness during root induction. Summary Plant de novo organogenesis depends on callus formation, yet the epigenetic mechanisms governing organ regeneration remain poorly understood.

Designed Alleles of ZmRap2.7 Decouple the Trade‐Off Between Early Flowering and Yield Penalty

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4966-4983, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Flowering time genes often exhibit pleiotropic effects. In particular, early flowering is frequently associated with reduced grain yield due to a shorter growth period. This trade‐off poses a major challenge for developing early‐maturing and high‐yielding varieties, a key breeding objective in modern maize production. Here, we demonstrate that
