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.

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 ...

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]
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
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 ...

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

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
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
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.
