Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Escaping Constraints to Innovate: Maternal Neofunctionalization in a HoxB4 Duplicate
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 2, Page 141-151, March 2026.Whole‐genome duplication in Xenopus laevis generated duplicated Hox genes that are largely constrained in sequence and developmental expression. However, HoxB4L uniquely acquired maternal expression through cis‐regulatory and protein structural divergence, illustrating how gene duplication enables transcription factors to escape pleiotropic constraints

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Genetic variation in three endangered allopolyploid Lepidium species was assayed using amplicon sequencing of 16 nuclear genesand phylogenetic analysis to distinguish ortholog/paralog (homoeolog) relationships. After phylogenetic analysis, the 16 sets of gene sequences were scored as co‐dominant alleles at a total of 55 putative loci in the target ...

Small, Volume 22, Issue 18, 25 March 2026.We introduce a versatile 3D platform that recreates key physical and biological features of the human bone marrow. By integrating tunable silk biomaterials, stromal cells, and human hematopoietic progenitors, the model captures both healthy and diseased microenvironments, analysis of blood formation, and its disruption in pathological conditions ...

A whole‐genome assembly of St. Augustinegrass and visualizing diversity within the species
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] is a warm‐season turfgrass species in the family Poaceae. This species is a popular choice for lawns in the Southern United States, due to its higher tolerance to shade, heat and humidity.

Diverse reference genomes detect variants in the US winter wheat
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract The first hexaploid bread wheat reference genome from Chinese Spring was released in 2018 by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium and is considered as the industry standard reference. To explore the effects of different reference genomes on variant discovery, 29 hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars from the ...

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.

Genomics in wheat improvement: Progress and perspectives
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) remains a major source of food and calories globally, yet its vast genome, polyploidy, and high number of repetitive sequences make genomic research challenging in this crop. In this review, we discuss the progress and future perspectives of genome research in wheat. Current efforts focus on the establishment of
