Evolution of crop phenotypic spaces through domestication

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1948-1963, May 2026.
Summary We used domestication as an in vivo replicated experiment to investigate how divergent selection has shaped the evolution of multivariate phenotypic spaces. We measured 11–57 qualitative and quantitative traits in 13 species, either unique or shared between species, and established a framework for cross‐species comparisons. Our results revealed

Unraveling genetic diversity and loci conferring leaf blast resistance in East and Southern African rice germplasm

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Rice blast remains a major disease, causing severe yield losses in rice‐producing regions and posing a threat to global food security. Understanding genetic variation within germplasms is crucial for identifying locally adapted genotypes with beneficial alleles for improving resistance to this disease.

Ubiquitin‐like SUMO protease expansion in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract SUMOylation is a protein post‐translational modification that is essential for plant growth and response to changing environments. However, past work in this area has mainly focused on simple sequence similarity methods for discovering SUMOylation genes, often using orthologue mapping from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) or Arabidopsis ...

Evidence for the emergence of new rice types of interspecific hybrid origin in West African farmers' fields. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
In West Africa two rice species (Oryza glaberrima Steud. and Oryza sativa L.) co-exist. Although originally it was thought that interspecific hybridization is impossible without biotechnological methods, progenies of hybridization appear to occur in ...

The Genome of the Rice Variety Mowanggu Provides Insight Into Resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Chromosome‐scale Mowanggu genome sequence reveals durable, broad‐spectrum rice blast resistance; expansion of RLK/NBS genes at Pi49, with OSAmwg_038136 enhancing defence and interacting with OsDIP1 to regulate resistance. ABSTRACT Food security remains a pressing global challenge, particularly for staple crops like rice. The traditional Yunnan landrace

On‐farm experimentation in East and West Africa improves nutrient management decision‐making and yield in cereal smallholder farming systems

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Past efforts have concentrated on top‐down approaches in delivering precision nutrient management (PNM) practices to smallholder farmers, but with little yield and economic impact for farmers. Farmer‐centric on‐farm experimentation (OFE) is an approach designed to effectively engage farmers in generating technologies tailored to the ...

Analysis of Genetic Variation of Rice Straw Characteristics and Its Influence on Biomass

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice straw is a key source of lignocellulosic biomass. GWAS can be used to identify genetic loci controlling stem morphological traits that influence biomass. This study aimed to investigate the genotypic diversity of rice straw internodes through GWAS, using 34,232 single‐nucleotide polymorphic sites with a minor allelic frequency (MAF ...

Exploring Flooding Challenges, Causes, and Mitigation Strategies in Rice

open access: yesInternational Journal of Genomics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Flooding is a dominant constraint to rice production in lowland and floodplain ecosystems, where stress intensity, timing, and duration vary widely across agroecological zones. This review synthesizes current knowledge on flooding typologies affecting rice, including anaerobic germination failure, flash flooding, stagnant flooding, and deep‐water ...

Genetic Diversity of Landrace Rice Varieties in Lower Northern Thailand Using Chloroplast DNA Markers

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In this study, the genetic diversity and evolutionary relationship among 65 Thai rice varieties were classified by the neighbor‐joining (NJ) analysis of DNA sequences, amplified by three cpDNA barcoding markers, namely, matK, rbcL, and trnH-psbA. Based on DNA sequencing analyses, all studied rice varieties were incorporated with 20 plant accessions by ...
