The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Nitrogen fixation in soybeans, facilitated by symbiotic interactions with rhizobia, is a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. However, the efficiency of symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) varies due to natural genetic variation in SNF‐related genes.

Potato dihaploids uncover diverse alleles to facilitate diploid potato breeding
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred‐hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands.

Molecular polymorphisms that underlie trait variation in crops: Lessons learned from soybean
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Genetic variation within a germplasm is important in crop improvement, providing a foundation for breeders to develop new varieties. Traits of agronomic and economic importance are often mapped to identify the genetic basis of observed phenotypes, oftentimes using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis.

Gene therapy for epilepsy: An emerging, promising approach for a serious neurological disorder
Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 3, Page 302-327, March 2026.Abstract Gene therapy is emerging as a groundbreaking strategy for treating epilepsy, offering new hope to patients who do not respond to conventional medications. Despite advancements in anti‐seizure treatments, nearly 30%–40% of individuals with epilepsy continue to experience uncontrolled seizures, highlighting the urgent need for more effective and
