Genomic and phenomic prediction models improve selection accuracy for complex traits in alfalfa

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Predictive breeding has been proposed as an effective approach to accelerate genetic gain for complex traits. Genomic prediction (GP) models have been developed in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) for key traits in the last decade. More recently, phenomic prediction (PP) models have been proposed as a low‐cost, high‐throughput alternative to GP in

Optimizing light spectra for soybean cultivation in controlled environments: Effects on plant growth, flowering, seed production, and seed quality

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 3, November 2026.
Cultivating soybean in a controlled environment enables precise control of growth conditions to accelerate breeding and enhance desirable traits. This study tested four LED spectra on two soybean varieties (CZ 75 70LL and S16‐14801C). The 40B:40R:20FR spectrum increased seed number by over 10% and seed weight by 20%, while both 50B:50R and 40B:40R:20FR

Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 648-657, November 2026.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 636-647, November 2026.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...

Auxin‐related regulation of barley floral organ fate: genetic and phenotypic insights from tweaky spike mutants

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1166-1180, November 2026.
Inflorescence/floret phenotypes of tweaky spike (tw) barley (Hordeum vulgare) mutants and their respective WT backgrounds. Summary Mutant‐based research is a cornerstone for elucidating gene function in barley (Hordeum vulgare) and other cereals. In this study, we exploited a unique collection of barley tweaky spike (tw) mutants to identify the locus ...
