Plant Biology, EarlyView.Common bean genotypes differ in their iron acquisition through distinct Strategy I responses and root exudation patterns. Abstract Iron (Fe) deficiency in food crops, particularly on calcareous soils, limits productivity and human nutrition. This study investigated two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes, Guaymí (high Fe‐accumulating, HI) and ...

Electrolysis‐treated biosolids enhance wheat growth and alter soil health parameters
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Biosolid‐based fertilizers can benefit agriculture by supporting circular nutrient economies, reducing fertilizer costs, and minimizing environmental impacts compared to inorganic fertilizers. A 125‐day greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effects of electrolysis‐treated biosolids on wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and soil ...

Economics of Biofortification [PDF]
Micronutrient malnutrition affects billions of people world-wide, causing serious health problems. Different micronutrient interventions are currently being used, but their overall coverage is relatively limited. Biofortification that is, breeding staple

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Pea (Pisum sativum) is a nutrient‐rich crop that can provide essential nutrients needed for human and animal health. Improving its mineral concentration through genetic selection can enhance its nutritional value and help combat micronutrient deficiencies. This study aimed to investigate the genetic basis of the accumulation of eight minerals (

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 8202-8209, October 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Zinc‐biofortified rice has the potential to provide a sustainable solution for zinc deficiency, particularly in Asian countries where rice is the primary staple food. However, cooking of raw rice is associated with some loss of micronutrients, including zinc.

Application of Omics Technologies for Cowpea Improvement
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a vital crop for food security, nutrition, and climate resilience in sub‐Saharan African and other semi‐arid regions. However, its improvement is constrained by the complexity of polygenic traits such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, and seed quality.
