Speciation of European bullheads (Cottus spp.): The next problem for taxonomy of northern freshwater fishes

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 15-26, July 2026.
Abstract High morphological and ecological diversity displayed by European bullheads led Freyhof et al. (2005) to describe 15 nominal species. However, the basis for declaring these nominal species is contentious due to a lack of rigorous statistical analysis of morphological variations among populations, limitations in the inferences made from ...

Structure‐informed engineering of plant–microbe interactions

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 1, July 2026.
SUMMARY This review critically evaluates how structural biology has enabled interface‐informed engineering of plant–microbe interactions, with a clear emphasis on the relative maturity of plant–pathogen research compared with symbiosis engineering. In plant immunity, atomic resolution structures of apoplastic receptors, host targets, and intracellular ...

Wheat's war against stripe rust: Integrating host immunity, genomics and breeding for durable resistance

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a foundation of global food security, faces persistent threats from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The pathogen thrives in cool and humid environments and regularly causes epidemics that lead to severe yield losses.

Cluster efficient pangenome graph construction with nf-core/pangenome

Bioinformatics
Abstract Motivation Pangenome graphs offer a comprehensive way of capturing genomic variability across multiple genomes. However, current construction methods often introduce biases, excluding complex sequences or relying on references. The PanGenome Graph Builder (PGGB) addresses these issues.

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Miso without kōji: nesashi miso ecology driven by spontaneous fermentation with Mucor plumbeus

Frontiers in Microbiology
Nesashi miso is a rare, traditionally fermented soybean paste from Japan, and unlike most misos is produced through spontaneous fermentation without the use of a kōji starter.

Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum Associated With Loss‐of‐Function SMARCA4 Variants to Eye Developmental Anomalies

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 6, Page 1064-1069, June 2026.
This study expands the clinical spectrum of SMARCA4 by describing a novel phenotype in three unrelated individuals with truncating variants. Distinct from Coffin–Siris syndrome and rhabdoid tumor predisposition, this new association is characterized by ocular malformations, specifically microphthalmia and coloboma.

Structure and sequence evolution in the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) pangenome

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2723-2741, June 2026.
Summary Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversity. Harnessing this variation for agriculture hinges on our ability to detect, quantify, catalog, and deploy genetic diversity. Here, we explore seven
