Natural variation in the GNH1 promoter enhances plant height and grain yield in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Natural variation in the GRAIN NUMBER AND PLANT HEIGHT 1 (GNH1) promoter alleviates repression by the C2H2‐type transcription factor ZFP36, upregulating GNH1 expression and promoting auxin accumulation, thereby increasing rice plant height and grain yield. This elite allele serves as a valuable genetic resource for molecular breeding of high‐yield rice.

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

Mapping the landscape: A scientometric analysis of health professions education literature in Hispanic America

Medical Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Context Health professions education (HPE) scholarship is expanding but remains unevenly distributed by region and language. Scientometrics can guide efforts to strengthen bibliodiversity, particularly for Global South regions underrepresented in HPE meta‐research.

Associations Between Weight Status and Mental Well‐Being in Childhood and Adolescence: A Systematic Review of Longitudinal Studies

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Obesity and poor mental well‐being in childhood and adolescence are growing public health concerns with potential implications for a broad range of life outcomes. Understanding the longitudinal and potentially bidirectional relationship between weight status and mental well‐being is crucial for developing effective interventions ...

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

Identification of a Simple Sequence Repeat molecular-marker set for large-scale analyses of pear germplasm

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2012
Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) are molecular markers suitable to assess the genetic variation of germplasm resources; however, large-scale SSR use requires protocol optimization. The present work aimed to identify SSR markers, developed for pear and other

Cross species transferability of G-SSR and EST-SSR markers to Neltuma affinis Spreng.

Forest Systems
Aim of study: To examine the transferability of G-SSR (genomic simple sequence repeats) and EST-SSR (expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeats) markers developed for several Neltuma species to N. affinis, a species with no genomic data. Area of study: West-Center of Entre Ríos province, Argentina. The set of molecular markers here proposed can be

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...
