Sponges, ctenophores and the statistical significance of syntenies

Molecular Biology and Evolution
Shared fusions between ancestral chromosomal linkage groups have previously been used to support phylogenetic groupings, notably sponges with cnidarians and bilaterians to the exclusion of ctenophores, rendering ctenophores the sister group to all other animals.

Wheat's war against stripe rust: Integrating host immunity, genomics and breeding for durable resistance

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a foundation of global food security, faces persistent threats from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The pathogen thrives in cool and humid environments and regularly causes epidemics that lead to severe yield losses.

Genome‐wide analysis of the AP2/ERF gene family in Rheum officinale Baill.: Evolution and expression profiling during plant development, abiotic stresses, and exogenous hormone responses

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The APETALA2/ethylene‐responsive factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily plays a central role in plant metabolism, stress responses, and hormone signaling. Rheum officinale Baill. is an important traditional medicinal plant whose roots and rhizomes are rich in anthraquinones and other secondary metabolites.

Genome and transcriptome‐based identification and expression profiling of chemosensory gene families across developmental stages and tissues in Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 270-283, June 2026.
The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

Structure and sequence evolution in the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) pangenome

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2723-2741, June 2026.
Summary Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversity. Harnessing this variation for agriculture hinges on our ability to detect, quantify, catalog, and deploy genetic diversity. Here, we explore seven

Chromosome‐Level Genome and Organ‐Specific Transcriptome of Alnus glutinosa Uncover Lineage‐Specific Innovations in Root Nodule Symbiosis

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3003-3021, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Alnus glutinosa is one of only three lineages within the order Fagales capable of establishing root nodule symbiosis (RNS). Although a fragmented genome assembly of A. glutinosa was previously available, its limited quality, combined with the lack of comprehensive transcriptomic resources, has constrained in‐depth comparative and functional ...

Telomere‐to‐Telomere Genomes Reveal that Multiscale Evolution Shapes the Largest Metabolic Arsenal of Diaporthe Fungi

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
This study presents the first telomere‐to‐telomere genomes and population resources for Diaporthe pathogens, uncovering the largest known fungal repertoire of secondary metabolite gene clusters. Structural variations and horizontal gene transfer drive cluster diversification, while specific rapidly evolving clusters control virulence, offering novel ...

Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Ranunculus arvensis and Ranunculus laetus: Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Insights

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Here, we de novo assembled the chloroplast genomes of Ranunculus arvensis and Ranunculus laetus, providing comprehensive comparative analysis with 21 congeners. The genomes exhibited conserved quadripartite structures with no major rearrangements, though lineage‐specific variations in atpH position were detected in two species.
