Phylogenomic analysis of Madagascar's baobabs reveals admixed populations and supports resurrection of a previously described species

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Baobab trees (Adansonia) are iconic members of Madagascar's biota that serve as emblems for the island's unique biodiversity. Despite this recognition, many questions remain regarding evolutionary relationships and species limits within the genus.

Revisiting Pluripotency Acquisition: A Unified Framework for Reprogramming Strategies

Development, Growth &Differentiation, Volume 68, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The traditional hierarchical view of totipotent cells generating diverse lineages of terminally differentiated cells was challenged by the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This breakthrough demonstrated that the ectopic expression of four transcription factors, Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c‐Myc (OSKM), can reprogram somatic cells

Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 908-921, August 2026.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Genetics of Flooding Tolerance in an F2 Miscanthus sacchariflorus ssp. lutarioriparius × M. sinensis Population

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
An experiment to map flooding tolerance in Miscanthus ×giganteus was conducted. Two phenotyping protocols (A and B) and different pipelines to call SNPs were used. TASSEL‐GBSv2 resulted in a genetic map with smaller QTL intervals than the other maps.

Miscanthus giganteus Biolistic Transformation Using the Visible RUBY Red Marker Gene to Monitor Transformation Efficiency

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Genetic improvements to Miscanthus × giganteus (M×g), a high‐yielding perennial C4 bioenergy crop, are constrained by triploid sterility and clonal propagation. An efficient biolistic genetic transformation protocol for inflorescence‐derived callus using RUBY, a betalain‐based noninvasive reporter, provides opportunities for crop advancement and tools ...

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1188-1208, August 2026.
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

Spatial Regulation of Silicon Accumulation in Peduncle Confers Sheathed Spike in Barley

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4766-4779, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Peduncle, the uppermost internode in cereals, connects the stem to the inflorescence and is critical for the transport of water, nutrients and photosynthetic assimilates. While peduncle length associates with plant height and its elongation is primarily regulated by phytohormones, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism involving the ...

Mapping and Functional Characterization of Homologous Genes AhSUCA06 and AhSUCA16 Underlying Sucrose, Oil and Protein Contents in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4844-4859, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed and cash crop, and seed sucrose content (SSC), seed oil content (SOC) and seed protein content (SPC) are key determinants of seed flavour, texture, and overall quality. Identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes associated with SSC, SOC and SPC is therefore of ...

Specific whole‐chromosome identification of the A01/C1 homoeologs through oligonucleotide‐based chromosome painting in Brassica species

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
Significance Statement The Brassica genus contains many closely related, agronomically important crops with different combinations of the A, B, and C subgenomes. Here, we provide oligo‐painting probe sets capable of identifying subgenome‐specific chromosome pairs.
