Natural variation in the atypical resistance gene Ptr confers broad‐spectrum neck blast resistance in rice

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Neck blast (NB), caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, infects rice (Oryza sativa L.) and reduces yield. Knowledge of NB resistance remains limited due to the lack of reliable resistance evaluation methods. Here, we applied a newly established neck injection method and performed a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) on 335 diverse accessions from the

Evidence of a Protective Effect of Metformin on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Risk: Insights From an Observational Study and Mendelian Randomisation Analysis Using Putative Metformin Targets

open access: yesAnnals of Human Genetics, Volume 90, Issue 5, Page 294-302, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims There is no proven treatment to prevent the growth or rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). As an aneurysm enlarges over time, the risk of fatal aortic rupture increases. Metformin, a drug usually prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes, has previously been associated with reduced AAA risk in observational studies. Our aim was to assess

Unravelling the Genetic Structure of Local and Mainstream Red‐Pied Cattle Breeds Using Genomics and Extended Pedigree Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 705-718, September 2026.
ABSTRACT During the last decade, there has been a growing interest for local and endangered breeds as they are often seen as more resilient and healthier than mainstream breeds. They can also provide high added‐value products like meat or dairy products.
