Protoplast‐Based Functional Genomics and Genome Editing: Progress, Challenges and Applications

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protoplast‐based systems provide a powerful and versatile platform for exploring how plants sense and respond to their environment. By enabling the direct delivery of proteins, DNA, and RNA into plant cells after cell wall removal, this approach facilitates precise molecular dissection of signaling, stress adaptation, and gene regulation ...

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

CRISPR/Cas Genome Editing and Its Applications in Cereal Crop Improvement

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT CRISPR/Cas‐based genome editing has emerged as a transformative tool for precise genetic improvement of cereal crops. Recent advances in CRISPR technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, Cas13, base editing, and prime editing, have enabled targeted modification of genes and regulatory elements controlling yield, stress tolerance, and grain ...

Are tetraploids more successful? Floral signals, reproductive success and floral isolation in mixed-ploidy populations of a terrestrial orchid [PDF]

, 2017
Background and Aims Polyploidization, the doubling of chromosome sets, is common in angiosperms and has a range of evolutionary consequences. Newly formed polyploid lineages are reproductively isolated from their diploid progenitors due to triploid ...

Characterization of the polymorphism detected for the granule‐bound starch synthase (WX gene) in wild einkorn wheat

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2437-2446, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The WX gene encodes the granule‐bound starch synthase I or waxy protein, which is the sole enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis in wheat seeds. Wild einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. aegilopoides Link em. Thell.) could be an important source of variation for this gene. RESULTS This study assessed the WX gene variability

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 ...

Chromosome instability in 'Carrizo' citrange + Citrus macrophylla somatic hybrids [PDF]

, 2015
Somatic hybridization by protoplast fusion is a very useful technique for citrus rootstock breeding. Indeed, it theoretically allows the accumulation of all genes of the parents, irrespective of their heterozygosity level and therefore the addition of ...

Rapid Adaptation to Road Salts in a Freshwater Microbial Eukaryote

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Road salt application is causing increased salinization of freshwater ecosystems. Using experimental evolution, we demonstrate that ciliates can quickly adapt to tolerate high salinities, but this adaptation may come at a cost to survival in the absence of salt.

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
