Mapping of Fire Blight Resistance QTL in the European Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Cultivar ‘Petersbirne’

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breeding of pear (Pyrus communis) cultivars that meet market requirements and are at the same time resistant to fire blight is a challenging task beacuse appropriate resistance donors are scarce. To identify valuable resistance sources, phenotypic screening and genetic characterization are indispensable.

A Gamma Ray–Induced Dwarf and Early Mutant of Brassica juncea With Favourable Traits for Developing High‐Yielding, Dwarf/Semi‐Dwarf Genotypes

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction of dwarfism to cereals has set a new paradigm in crop improvement programmes. To date, very little progress has been made in the development of high‐yielding dwarf/semi‐dwarf genotypes in oilseed Brassica. Previous attempts using induced mutagenesis employed in the induction of dwarfism in Brassica crops yielded limited success ...

Genetic Architecture of Southern Stem Canker Resistance in Elite Southern Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) Germplasm

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Southern stem canker (SSC), caused by the fungus Diaporthe aspalathi, is one of the major constraints to soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) production in the southern United States and South America. Genetic resistance is the most effective strategy for managing SSC; however, the genetic architecture underlying resistance in elite southern ...

Genetic Regulation of DNA Methylation and Its Mediating Role in Blood Pressure: A Genome-Wide Twin Study. [PDF]

MedComm (2020)
Using 1056 Chinese twins, we estimated DNA methylation heritability (mean h2 = 18.3%) and genetic correlations with blood pressure. Association analyses identified 914 SBP‐related and 624 DBP‐related CpGs, with attenuation within monozygotic pairs. Integrating mQTL, GWAS, eQTL, and pQTL data identified bidirectional CpG–blood pressure relationships and

Integrated Genome-Wide Association Studies and Selection Signature Analysis Reveal the Genetic Architecture of the Wattle Trait in Goats. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Wattles are finger‐like appendages on the ventral neck of goats, serving as a distinctive morphological marker for breed identification that serves potential implications for production performance. However, their genetic basis remains incompletely characterized.

Genome‐Wide Association Study Elucidates the Genetic Architecture of Manganese Tolerance in Brassica napus

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...

Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.
