The horizontal gene transfer of Agrobacterium T-DNAs into the series Batatas (genus Ipomoea) genome is not confined to hexaploid sweetpotato [PDF]
, 2019 The discovery of the insertion of IbT-DNA1 and IbT-DNA2 into the cultivated (hexaploid) sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] genome constitutes a clear example of an ancient event of Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT).

Haploidy-linked cell proliferation defects limit larval growth in zebrafish
Open BiologyHaploid larvae in non-mammalian vertebrates are lethal, with characteristic organ growth retardation collectively called ‘haploid syndrome’. In contrast to mammals, whose haploid intolerance is attributed to imprinting misregulation, the cellular ...

A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

Differences in ploidy levels of interploidal crosses progenies between diploids and tetraploid somatic hybrids in citrus : S02P19 [PDF]
, 2012 One of the main objectives of citrus breeders is to obtain sterile mandarins that produce seedless fruits. Triploids are a response to these criteria. A way for triploid creation is sexual crosses between diploids and tetraploids.

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.
