Evaluation of Soaking Effects on Physicochemical and Functional Properties of Pinto and Black Beans
Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are nutritionally valuable legumes that provide essential nutrients and polyphenolic compounds with strong antioxidant properties. Dry beans are typically subjected to soaking as a conventional pre‐cooking step to mitigate the hard‐to‐cook effect and reduce cooking time.

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Agronomic and Grain Quality Traits of Different Chickpea Cultivars Grown in Southern Germany
Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT In Germany, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is so far considered as a “new” crop. Introducing “new” crops in new growing regions can face many challenges. One of the major challenges is selecting appropriate cultivars. This study aimed to provide clear, region‐specific recommendations for suitable chickpea cultivars to support future agronomic ...
