Natural outcrossing in chickpea [PDF]

, 1981
The material studied consisted of simple-leaved F2 segregates in four populations which derived from crossing simple-leaved and compound-leaved material in which simple leaf was monogenically recessive to the normal compound leaf.

The Function of the Partially‐Opened Spathe of Pinellia pedatisecta (Araceae) as a Pitfall Pollinator Trap

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Pinellia pedatisecta has a simplified inflorescence structure, compared to its congeners with highly specialized trap pollination systems. However, our study suggests that P. pedatisecta also captures and releases pollinating insects by the spathe movement during flowering season.

Experimental evolution suggests rapid assembly of the ‘selfing syndrome’ from standing variation in Mimulus guttatus

Frontiers in Plant Science
Ecological and evolutionary changes are likely to occur rapidly when outcrossing populations experience pollinator loss. However, the number and identify of plant traits that will respond to this form of selection, as well as the overall predictability ...

Evolutionary genetic consequences of facultative sex and outcrossing [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2015
AbstractExplaining the selective forces that underlie different reproductive modes forms a major part of evolution research. Many organisms are facultative sexuals, with the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Reduced sequencing costs means it is now possible to start investigating genome sequences of a wider number of these organisms in ...

Redundant Glycerol‐3‐Phosphate Acyltransferases Regulate Thermo‐Sensitive Genic Male Sterility in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4689-4703, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Thermo‐sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) lines play a pivotal role in two‐line hybrid rice breeding. However, the availability of elite TGMS germplasm remains limited, and the molecular mechanisms underlying fertility transition of TGMS lines are still poorly understood.

Fine Mapping of qAL5.2 Controlling Anther Length in Oryza sativa

Plants
Anther length is the critical floral trait determining hybrid rice seed production and is controlled by many quantitative trait loci (QTL). However, the cloning of genes specifically controlling anther size has yet to be reported.

Henbit is an attainable cover crop

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Henbit is a short‐season plant that grows through the winter. It seeds itself in the spring with seeds that stay dormant through the summer and germinate in the fall. Winter growth makes henbit a good cover crop for the offseason of summer cash crops. Abstract Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule L.) is a potential cover crop in the Central United States, but ...

Outcrossing Rate and Fruit Yield of Hass Avocado Trees Decline at Increasing Distance from a Polliniser Cultivar

Agronomy
Optimal fruit production from many tree crops relies on the transfer of cross-pollen between trees of different cultivars rather than the transfer of self-pollen between trees of the same cultivar.

Genetic Evidence of a Recent Decline and Crossbreed Distribution of TRPV4 c.1024G>T Variant in Domestic Cats

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The folded ear phenotype of Scottish Fold cats is associated with an autosomal dominant TRPV4 variant (c.1024G>T) linked to osteochondrodysplasia. Although genetic testing has been implemented to guide breeding, empirical evidence of its impact on allele frequency remains limited, and crossbreed investigations are lacking.

Two decades of resurrection studies: What have we learned about contemporary evolution of plant species?

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Premise Global climate change has altered the eco‐evolutionary trajectories of plant species, leading to observed shifts in phenotypes, such as earlier flowering. However, disentangling the contributions of plasticity and adaptation to trait changes remains challenging.
