Wild Legume Species in Africa: A Synthesis of Vigna Potential for Nutrition and Food Security
Legume Science, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Legumes are staple foods and essential sources of nutrients for populations facing food insecurity in Africa. Within this group, the genus Vigna—including cowpea (Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata)—is among the most widely cultivated and consumed.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.ABSTRACT Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum, the wild progenitor of cultivated barley, shares the same chromosome number with domesticated forms and exhibits no significant biological barriers to interspecies crossing. Roots are essential for water uptake, nutrient acquisition, and structural support, making them key determinants of plant performance ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7815-7826, December 2025.Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7971-7984, December 2025.Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. Zeus Mateos‐Fierro*, Ashley Leach, Ian Kaplan. Spider mite and melon aphid outbreaks are enhanced with broad‐spectrum insecticides, while natural enemies are reduced. However, rye cover crop has little effect on either pest or natural enemy populations.
