Seed shattering in a North American Oryzeae grain: Developmental and genomic signatures of early domestication

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Northern Wild Rice (NWR; Zizania palustris L.) is an aquatic grain endemic to North America and a member of the Oryzeae tribe. As an outcrossing crop with a short breeding history, domestication progress in cultivated NWR (cNWR) is ongoing, and seed shattering remains a major barrier to yield stability.

Genome‐wide association study identifies consistent genomic loci for yield and nutritional quality in Ethiopian sorghum landraces

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Identifying genomic regions linked to yield and quality is crucial for sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) improvement, but limited studies on its genome and diversity hinder breeding efforts. This study aimed to identify phenotypic variance and common quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) associated with genomic regions linked with grain yield and ...

Machine learning and multi‐omic analysis reveal contrasting recombination landscape of A and C subgenomes of winter oilseed rape

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Meiotic recombination is essential for generating genetic diversity, driving plant evolution, and enabling crop improvement, yet its uneven distribution across genomes constrains breeding efforts. Here, we investigated the multi‐omic landmarks that shape the recombination landscape in Brassica napus by integrating epigenomic, genomic, and ...

Etude par les isozymes de la pollinisation libre de génotypes d'hévéas sauvages (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) en verger à graines [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2006
Survey of the open pollination by isozymes in a wild rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) seeds orchard. The Côte dʼIvoire has a wild rubber tree population for which an improvement in a seeds orchard is suggested by open pollination.

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Effects of environmental factors on genetic diversity in the endangered Notopterygium incisum from the southeastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study focuses on 38 populations of Notopterygium incisum from its main distribution areas (Sichuan Province, Gansu Province, and Qinghai Province), conducting molecular genetic diversity analysis and investigating the correlations between genetic variation and climatic variables, geographical distribution, and elevation gradients.

Flowering Asynchrony and Temporal Mate Restriction in Tropical Peat Swamp Forest Trees

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Tropical peat swamp forest trees flower asynchronously, restricting mating opportunities between conspecifics. Using an 18‐year dataset from Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, we show that while the same individual trees tend to flower together through time, there is enough turnover in which trees flower contemporaneously that lifetime mate restriction and

The Leading Edge Matters Too: Fitness and the Expression of Adaptive Differentiation Are Greatest at the High‐Elevation Edge of a Species' Range

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
We tested hypotheses about adaptation across elevational range limits in Erythranthe laciniata, a montane plant endemic to the Sierra Nevada. Using common garden experiments, we found highest fitness and strongest climate adaptation at high elevations, suggesting potential for range expansion and challenging assumptions of limited adaptive potential at

Evidence for the Stability Selection Mechanism in a Live Predator–Prey System

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
We demonstrate that the stability properties of a predator–prey pair vary with prey genetics and that the loss of unstable predator–prey pairs in subpopulations from the overall population can lead to trait evolution in the aggregate population. Our results indicate that community‐level processes such as predator–prey interactions can generate eco ...

Outcrossing Rates in Pecan and the Potential for Increased Yields

open access: yesJournal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1988
Abstract Nuts produced from controlled crosses of ‘Western’ pecan [ Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) C. Koch] pollinated with ‘Wichita’ were 20% heavier and 12% larger by volume than self-pollinated nuts.
