Investigation of Aspergillus flavus Infection and Aflatoxin Accumulation in Pulses During Growth and Development

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aflatoxins (AFL) are mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus that pose major risks to food safety. This study evaluated fungal growth and AFL production in planta across the following five pulse species: chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.), lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.), peas (Pisum sativum L.), soybeans (Glycine max L.), and with corn (Zea ...

Crop genotypic richness enhances biomass production and phosphorus acquisition in maize‐mycorrhiza symbiosis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1702-1714, September 2026.
Our study tests how soil and plant biodiversity can enhance sustainability of crop production in Kenya. We tested whether mixtures of maize varieties performed better than monocultures and tested their response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal responsiveness differed significantly by maize variety, and genetic mixtures outperformed ...

Controlling banana bunchy top disease in Benin: Crop protection strategies with socio‐economic perspectives

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1675-1691, September 2026.
Banana and plantain are vital for food security and income in West Africa, yet banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) threatens production. This study combined remote sensing, field surveys, modelling and socio‐economic analysis to assess BBTV spread and control strategies in Benin.

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1517-1532, September 2026.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...
