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.

The CaCA superfamily genes in Saccharum: comparative analysis and their functional implications in response to biotic and abiotic stress

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background In plants, Calcium (Ca2+) acts as a universal messenger in various signal transduction pathways, including responses to biotic and abiotic stresses and regulation of cellular and developmental processes.

Forage Species and Nutrition Among Reintroduced Banteng (Bos javanicus d'Alton, 1823) in Salakphra Wildlife Sanctuary and Khao Kiew–Khao Chompoo Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Dietary management is an important factor affecting the health and survival of critically endangered wildlife. The natural habitat showed a significant seasonal difference which was also higher than in introduced habitat. Reintroduced banteng exhibit dietary flexibility and adaptability to different natural habitats.

Brachypodium SPEECHLESS2 Promoter Drives Expression of a Synthetic EPF to Reduce Stomatal Density in Sugarcane Without Pleiotropic Effects

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2372-2384, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Stomata are microscopic pores that regulate the exchange of CO2 and water vapour, making them a major target for engineering plants with improved intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). Proof‐of‐concept studies have demonstrated the potential to increase iWUE by reducing stomatal density (SD) and stomatal conductance (gsw) by ubiquitously ...

A new basic chomosome number in Saccharum spontaneum L.

CYTOLOGIA, 1990
During meiotic study in a clone of S. spontaneum L. (2n=54), it was found that some (11.39±2.52%) PMCs undergo cytomixis during pre-metaphase-I. Unlike many instances, only 18 bivalents were found to migrate along with the nucleolus into the recipient cell, and 9 bivalents remained in the donor cell.

Genome‐Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Pathogenesis‐Related Protein 1 in Sweet Potato and Its Two Relatives

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Pathogenesis‐related Protein 1 (PR1) is a core component of plant innate immunity. We identified 33, 50, and 36 PR1 genes in Ipomoea batatas, Ipomoea trifida, and Ipomoea triloba. Phylogenetic analysis clustered them into 5 groups. Two diploid wild species show high flower/flower‐buds expression, and most sweet potato PR1s are downregulated under ...

Floristic Diversity of Riparian and Associated Vegetation Along the Amnay River (The Philippines)

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Riparian vegetation plays a critical role in maintaining ecological integrity along river corridors, yet it is highly sensitive to changes in hydrological and geomorphic conditions, particularly in sediment‐influenced tropical river systems.

Multiple chromosomal configurations and phylogenetic implications in Saccharum mitochondrial genomes

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Mitochondria play a crucial role in plant growth, fertility, and adaptation. Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids) represents the world’s primary sugar and energy crop, while S. spontaneum and S. arundinaceum serve as valuable parental germplasm.
