Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

Pitfalls and missing links in current understanding of 4D genomes

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The spatial and temporal organization of the genome—collectively termed the 4D genome—is pivotal for regulating gene expression, maintaining genome stability, and guiding development. The convergence of chromosome conformation capture technologies, super‐resolution microscopy, and single‐cell epigenomics has transformed our understanding of ...

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.

Evaluation of Genome Variation from Clones from Crossbreeding Hippeastrum × chmielii with Selected Hippeastrum hybridum Cultivars

Agriculture
Chromosome counts and DNA content analyses are of tools used in studies of organismal variability that contribute to the breeding progress of ornamentals. The aim of this study was to determine the ploidy level and genome size of 20 Hippeastrum genotypes

Identification of resistance sources and genomic regions regulating spot blotch resistance in Asian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) via genome‐wide association study

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Spot blotch (SB), caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is a major yield‐limiting disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the warm, humid agroclimatic zones of South Asia. The development of resistant cultivars through molecular approaches offers a sustainable strategy for managing this disease.

Phenotypic and genetic resistance to Septoria blotch disease in European wheat varieties

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch (STB), poses a critical threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in temperate Europe, underscoring the need for durable genetic resistance. Here, we screened 151 winter wheat varieties at the seedling stage using a mixed inoculum of five virulent isolates.

Genetic identification and characterization of novel loci for flag leaf morphology traits in Chinese endemic wheat

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Flag leaf morphology (FLM) is a critical determinant of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) photosynthetic efficiency and grain yield. Chinese endemic wheat, a unique genetic reservoir formed by long‐term adaptation to diverse and heterogeneous environments in China, harbors abundant, untapped allelic variation for traits related to environmental ...

Alfred Henry Sturtevant (November 21, 1891-April 6, 1970) [PDF]

, 1971
It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of Sturtevant's scientific contributions to the development of present-day genetic concepts. Even so I am reluctant to attempt any such evaluation.

Induction of putative tetraploid larvae and analysis of unfertilized egg storage for burbot (Lota lota)

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Burbot (Lota lota) are a promising candidate for commercial aquaculture production. Methods for captive culture are well understood, the species is highly regarded for its muscle, roe, liver, and skin, and its resistance to many salmonid pathogens coupled with the species' affinity to trout‐like water quality conditions make burbot an ...

Triploid Ginkgo production from interploidy crossings

Industrial Crops and Products
Ginkgo biloba is a phylogenetically, ornamentally, culturally, and medicinally important representative of gymnosperms. This group exhibits an extremely low frequency of polyploids, in contrast to the frequent and economically valuable polyploids found ...
