Genetic basis of cuticular hydrocarbon variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger

This study identifies genetic loci associated with cuticular hydrocarbon variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger, revealing a polygenic architecture underlying chemical signaling traits.

Not so selfish: transposable elements fuel adaptation to climate change

The paper identifies adaptive haplotype blocks in wild barley linked to drought and heat response genes, enriched for transposable elements, and predicts maladaptive risk due to climate change.

Genomic architecture of phenotypic plasticity of complex traits in tetraploid wheat in response to water stress

The paper quantifies drought plasticity in tetraploid wheat using QTL analysis and identifies candidate genes for stress adaptation.

Variation in phosphorus and sulfur content shapes the genetic architecture and phenotypic associations within wheat grain ionome

The paper adjusts ionome element concentrations for phosphorus and sulfur variation in wheat, identifying QTLs and improving genetic understanding of mineral composition.

Desiccation-induced changes in recombination rate and crossover interference in Drosophila melanogaster: evidence for fitness-dependent plasticity

This study shows desiccation increases recombination and interference in Drosophila melanogaster, with effects more pronounced in desiccation-sensitive genotypes, suggesting fitness-dependent plasticity in recombination.

Grain Protein Content QTLs Identified in a Durum x Wild Emmer Wheat Mapping Population Tested in Five Environments

The paper identifies 12 grain protein content QTLs in a durum x wild emmer wheat RIL population across five environments, with 11 favorable alleles from wild emmer wheat.
