Hybridizing tropical and hardy water lilies holds great potential for creating new varieties with both cold tolerance and vibrant colors. However, prefertilization barriers between different subgenera ...

Intersubgeneric hybridization barriers in water lilies have long impeded successful cross-breeding. A recent study identified the NpCIPK6–NpSnRK1 signaling module as a crucial factor in overcoming ...

Hybridization among aquatic taxa—from cyprinid fishes to amphibians and molluscs—reconfigures host genetic architecture and can alter susceptibility to native and novel parasites. Hybrid genomes may ...

Phylogenetic analysis of aquatic plant hybridization investigates how interbreeding among water-adapted taxa shapes evolutionary trajectories, drives speciation and influences ecosystem function.
