Speciation with gene flow

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

Microbiome Diversity and Dynamics in Lotus–Fish Co-Culture Versus Intensive Pond Systems: Implications for Sustainable Aquaculture

Biology
The lotus–fish co-culture (LFC) system leverages plant–fish symbiosis to optimize aqua-culture environments, enhancing both economic and ecological yields.

Transcriptome Profiling Identifies Candidate Genes Contributing to Male and Female Gamete Development in Synthetic Brassica Allohexaploids

Plants, 2022
Polyploidy plays a crucial role in plant evolution and speciation. The development of male and female gametes is essential to the reproductive capacity of polyploids, but their gene expression pattern has not been fully explored in newly established ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Formation and Biological Characteristics Analysis of Artificial Gynogenetic WuLi Carp Induced by Inactivated Sperm of Megalobrama Amblycephala

Biology
Artificial gynogenesis is an essential technique for aquaculture breeding. Fertile offspring of the WuLi carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Quanzhounensis, 2n = 100, WLC) were successfully produced via gynogenesis using ultraviolet-irradiated sperm from the ...

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

Integrated Analysis of Phenotypic and Hepatic Transcriptomic Profiles Reveals Enhanced Cold Tolerance in Triploid Crucian Carp

Fishes
Cold stress poses a critical threat to fish survival by triggering metabolic dysfunction, oxidative damage, immune suppression, and apoptosis. However, hybrid polyploid fish triploid crucian carp (3nRCR, 3n = 150) demonstrate superior stress tolerance ...

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...

Molecular Phylogenetics of Seven Cyprinidae Distant Hybrid Lineages: Genetic Variation, 2nNCRC Convergent Evolution, and Germplasm Implications

Biology
Distant hybridization is key to trait innovation and speciation, with Cyprinidae hybrid phylogeny helping to clarify diversification mechanisms. Yet, a major gap persists in Cyprinidae studies: the stabilization mechanisms of interspecific distant hybrid

Mapping a Novel Black Spot Resistance Locus in the Climbing Rose Brite Eyes™ (‘RADbrite’)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Rose black spot, caused by Diplocarpon rosae, is one of the most devastating foliar diseases of cultivated roses (Rosa spp.). The globally distributed pathogen has the potential to cause large economic losses in the outdoor cultivation of roses ...
