How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained key questions in evolutionary biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on that occur either before mating or after zygote formation. In comparison, postmating prezygotic (PMPZ) isolation-a barrier acts gamete release but formation-is less frequently investigated may hold a unique role generating biodiversity. Here we discuss the distinctive features of PMPZ isolation, including primary drivers molecular mechanisms underpinning isolation. We then present first comprehensive survey isolation research, revealing it is widespread form across eukaryotes. The also exposes obstacles studying part attributable challenges involved directly measuring uncovering its causal mechanisms. Finally, identify outstanding knowledge gaps provide recommendations for improving future This will allow us better understand nature this often-neglected reproductive contribution speciation.

The study demonstrated that was domesticated during the Early Middle Ages in region spanning western Asia central Asia, orange selected Renaissance period, probably Europe. A progressive reduction genetic diversity accompanied this process.

Visual preferences are important drivers of mate choice and sexual selection, but little is known how they evolve at the genetic level. In this study, we took advantage diversity bright warning patterns displayed by Heliconius butterflies, which also used during choice. Combining behavioral, population genomic, expression analyses, show that two species have evolved same for red exchanging material through hybridization. Neural regucalcin1 correlates with visual preference across populations, disruption CRISPR-Cas9 impairs courtship toward conspecific females, providing a direct link between gene behavior. Our results support role hybridization behavioral evolution visually guided behaviors contributing to adaptation speciation encoded within genome.

Floral color and scent are crucial for plant-environment interactions, especially in reproduction by attracting pollinators fertilization. They also have wide applications cosmetic, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical industries. Plant pigments typically classified as chlorophylls, flavonoids, carotenoids, betalains, while volatile organic compounds (VOCs) grouped terpenes, phenylpropanoids/benzenoids, fatty acid derivatives. Significant progresses been made understanding the biosynthesis regulation of these floral VOCs. Despite differences their biosynthetic pathways, VOCs biochemically connected exhibit synergistic interactions during flower development response to biotic abiotic stresses, suggesting existence pleiotropic regulators or complex mechanisms co-regulating biosynthesis. In this review, we summarize outline metabolite pathways mainly integrating phenylpropanoids/benzenoids. We provide a series scenarios illustrating coordinated scent. Finally, suggest areas future research. hope review will spark interest research direction stimulate further studies.

Abstract Flower color and scent, crucial qualitative characteristics of ornamental plants, display extensive variation. These distinct pigments scents play a key role in attracting specific pollinators. While previous research primarily delved into the synthetic regulatory mechanisms individual traits their respective attraction to insects, recent studies unveil an interconnectedness between flower scent through transcriptional networks. Moreover, evidence suggests that both actively contribute insect attraction. This review summarizes co-regulation synthesis scents, highlighting pivotal roles pollinator The insights provided will serve as valuable references for applications metabolic engineering, novel variety breeding, pest detection management.

Kernel dehydration rate (KDR) is a crucial production trait that affects mechanized harvesting and kernel quality in maize; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identified quantitative locus (QTL), qKDR1, as non-coding sequence regulates expression of qKDR1 REGULATED PEPTIDE GENE (RPG). RPG encodes 31 amino acid micropeptide, microRPG1, which controls KDR by precisely modulating two genes, ZmETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE3-like 1 3, ethylene signaling pathway kernels after filling. microRPG1 Zea genus-specific micropeptide originated de novo from sequence. Knockouts result faster maize. By contrast, overexpression or exogenous application shows opposite effect both maize Arabidopsis. Our findings reveal molecular mechanism provide an important tool for future crop breeding.

Carrots (Daucus carota L.) are a rich source of provitamin A, namely, α- and β-carotene. Breeding programs prioritize increasing β-carotene content for improved color nutrition. Understanding the genetic basis carotenoid accumulation is crucial implementing genomic-assisted selection to develop high-carotenoid lines. While previous studies identified loci (Y2, Y, Or, REC) associated with carrot content, this study employed genome-wide association (GWA) in diverse panel 738 accessions. We discovered novel locus candidate gene encoding phytoene synthase, key enzyme biosynthesis. The Y2, REC mostly fixed orange varieties, yet considerable variation concentration persists. This suggests multigenic trait influenced by environment. GWA quantitative total carotenoids α-carotene. explored accuracy genomic prediction (GP) models predict concentration. determined optimal number plants plots required accurate phenotyping, finding ≥5 per plot three site as minimum effective sample accession. GP achieved accuracies ranging from 0.06 0.40 depending on measured environment carrots were assayed. Additional breeding will clarify potential carrots.

Abstract The recent discovery that various insects have acquired functional genes through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has prompted numerous studies into this puzzling and fascinating phenomenon. So far, horizontally transferred are found to be functionally conserved largely retained their ancestral functions. It evidently not yet been considered may evolve can contribute divergence between species. Here, it is first showed the genomes of two widespread agriculturally important whiteflies Trialeurodes vaporariorum Bemisia tabaci both contain a plant‐derived thaumatin‐like protein ( TLP ) gene, but with highly distinct functions in these closely related pests. In T. , maintained function similar plant donor, acting as an antimicrobial resist fungal infection; sharp contrast, B. evolved effector suppresses defense responses. These findings reveal as‐yet undescribed scenario cross‐species differentiation suggest HGT‐mediated evolutionary novelty ecotypic even speciation.

Pigmentation patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Visually striking pigmentation not only aesthetically appealing, but also crucial to pollinator interaction and plant fitness. The formation of complex floral mainly relies on the spatiotemporal expression R2R3-MYB transcription factors is often associated with certain development programs, such as organ identity, symmetry, which likely provide key information initiate patterning. For a pattern form, at least pair activator inhibitor required, despite their might vary depending system being investigated. regulation involves multiple molecular mechanisms, transcriptional regulation, small RNA, transposon-mediated gene silencing, methylation body. Identifying these regulators can be facilitated by using single-cell spatial transcriptomics well innovative transformation technologies. Moreover, interdependent, current methods describing static. Therefore, more precise quantitative measurements needed elucidate developmental mechanisms underlying flowers.

Breakdown of reproductive isolation facilitates flow useful trait genes into crop plants from their wild relatives. Hybrid sterility, a major form exists between cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) and (O. meridionalis, Mer). Here, we report the cloning qHMS1, quantitative locus controlling hybrid male sterility these two species. Like qHMS7, another cloned previously, qHMS1 encodes toxin-antidote system, but differs in encoded proteins, evolutionary origin, action time point during pollen development. In heterozygous at ~ 50% pollens carrying qHMS1-D (an allele rice) are selectively killed. both 75% without co-presence qHMS1-Mer qHMS7-D killed, indicating that antidotes function toxin-dependent manner. Our results indicate different systems provide stacked for maintaining species identity shed light on breakdown sterility.
