Development of an open‐pollinated genetic mapping framework to facilitate the identification of QTL in apples

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Genetic mapping of traits in apples (Malus domestica), a temperate woody perennial, is challenging due to high heterozygosity, long juvenility, and extensive spatial maintenance requirements for the populations. These factors limit the effective use of traditional quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping methods in identifying the genetic basis ...

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

Genetic Parameters and Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Fertility and Reproduction Traits in U.S. Katahdin Sheep Based on the Single‐Step GBLUP Methodology

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 625-638, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep production contributes to a secure and diverse food and fibre supply in the United States, with growing ethnic diversity strengthening demand. Katahdin is a composite hair‐type sheep breed developed in the United States that has become the most popular breed in many regions of the country and the first one to have genomic selection ...

A drought stress‐induced MYB transcription factor regulates pavement cell shape in leaves of European aspen (Populus tremula)

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2688-2705, September 2026.
MYB305a promoter expression increases in pavement cells as they grow and acquire their complex shape. Summary Leaf pavement cells of many plant species develop jigsaw puzzle‐like shapes in which neighboring cells interdigitate, providing an ideal model for the study of cell shape regulation.

An Update on Advancement in Genomics Resources for Spiny Lobster Aquaculture Development

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of high‐throughput sequencing technologies has transformed aquaculture genomics, enabling unprecedented insights into the biology and improvement of non‐model aquatic species. Among crustaceans, lobsters represent one of the most commercially valuable yet genomically underexplored taxa. This review synthesises the current

Insect‐resistant soybean genotypes accumulate rutin and its O‐methylated derivative narcissin, a more potent flavonol targeting Anticarsia gemmatalis digestive and detoxification enzymes and reducing larval survival

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5921-5933, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Soybean underpins Brazil's agricultural, yet its sustainability is threatened by lepidopteran pests such as Anticarsia gemmatalis. Although insect‐resistant cultivars have long been associated with the constitutive accumulation of quercetin‐derived flavonols, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly ...

Gene expression and metabolic variability in fungus‐resistant PIWI (‘Pilzwiderstandsfähig’) grape cultivars

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5841-5850, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Fungus‐resistant PIWI (Pilzwiderstandsfähig) grape cultivars are promising for reducing pesticide inputs in viticulture, but their enological potential is still poorly characterized. We performed a pilot, single‐vintage study integrating berry gene expression and phenolic composition in five Italian red PIWI cultivars (Cabernet ...
