Somatic genome‐doubling is the most parsimonious route to allopolyploidy

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2845-2851, June 2026.
Summary The origin of a polyploid can hinge on a single errant cell division, a mistake in the cell cycle that leads to genome‐doubling and re‐writes the rules of chromosome pairing and segregation. In plants, the evolutionary significance of these errors is magnified by lack of an early sequestered germline, meaning somatic mutations can be heritable.

TRAP5 Inhibition Targeting Scar‐Associated Macrophages Ameliorates Acute Kidney Injury to Chronic Kidney Disease Transition

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
This study delineates macrophage heterogeneity along the acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease transition. Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals a TRAP5+ scar‐associated macrophage subset driven by Spp1–Cd44 signaling and mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming.

ZSL Orchestrates Synaptonemal Complex Assembly as a Central Region Scaffold to Ensure Synapsis Fidelity and Crossover Control in Polyploid Meiosis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
A central molecular adaptor, ZSL, is identified that links transverse filaments ZYP1 to central element SCEP1/2 to drive synaptonemal complex assembly in Brassica napus. Loss of ZSL abolishes synaptonemal complex formation, disrupts meiotic chromosome segregation, and markedly increases crossovers, providing mechanistic insight into meiotic fidelity ...

Target Capture Sequencing Provides Insights Into Hybridogenetic Water Frogs

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The genomics of European frogs of the genus Pelophylax are intriguing due to their propensity to hybridise, the prevalence of polyploidy, and the unusual hemiclonal hybridogenetic complexes formed in many populations. This study examines the use of target capture sequencing using the Frog Cap bait set to investigate these complex systems.

Introgression of a Terminal Segment From Chromosome 3S of Festuca mairei Increases Drought Resistance of Lolium perenne

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to climate change, the requirement for increased resilience by grassland systems to onsets of ever‐increasing drought stresses makes the development of drought‐resistant forage crops a priority for future food and energy security. Novel ×Festulolium (Festuca × Lolium) cultivars offer unique opportunities to combine complementary traits ...

Tetraploidization in citrus rootstocks: effect of genetic constitution and environment in chromosome duplication

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2016
The objective of this study was to identify polyploid plants from citrus rootstocks and to evaluate the influence of the genetic constitution and of the environment on the frequency of chromosome duplication.

Cell Mechanics in Cancer: Integrating Mechanotransduction Pathways Within the Tumor Microenvironment

Journal of Cellular Physiology, Volume 241, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Single‐cell mechanical properties such as stiffness, elasticity, and viscosity, are crucial in governing biological processes like migration, proliferation, and differentiation. In cancer, the mechanical properties of cells undergo significant alterations, which contribute to tumor growth, metastasis, and resistance to therapy.

Phylogenetic and Population Genetic Analysis Decipher the Taxonomic Consistency on Cryptic Betula costata Trautv. (Betulaceae) Populations in Japan and the Process on Its Divergence and Isolation

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Betula costata, a deciduous broad‐leaved tree habits in the cool‐cold temperate forests in East Asia, is an ideal species for studying the persistence of relict plants. Although cryptic populations of this species have been reported in central Japan in recent years, species delineation of them using molecular evidence has not been undertaken.
