A Vegetable Breeding Consortium in Asia Provides Smallholder Farmers With Resilient Varieties

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 2, Page 244-247, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Adapting vegetables to the impacts of climate change is a complex task that demands significant long‐term investment in breeding research. Heat stress and drought tolerance are intricate traits with multiple components that respond differently in varying environments.

Persistence and Dissipation of Triazophos in Bitter Gourd

Journal of Horticultural Sciences, 2008
Triazophos (Trazan 40 EC) @ 0.06% a.i. (1.5 ml/lt. of water) and 0.12% a.i. (3 ml/lt. of water) were sprayed on bitter gourd at fruiting stage during kharif, 2003. First spray was done at 45 days after sowing and next at 15 days after first spraying. Fruit samples for residue estimation were collected after second application of pesticide.

Viral and Host Factors Involved in Host Gain and Host Loss by Tomato Leaf Curl Begomoviruses in Tomato and Cucumbers

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Begomoviruses have jumped hosts between tomatoes and cucumbers, and we found that a short region (transcriptional activator and replication enhancer proteins, TrAp and REn) of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus is mainly responsible for host jump. ABSTRACT Begomoviruses transmitted by whiteflies cause severe crop losses worldwide.

Inheritance of Gynoecism in Bitter Gourd (Momordica charantia L.) [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2006
The inheritance of sex expression in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) and other cucurbits is well documented; however, the genetics of female sex (gynoecism) expression in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) has not been described. Inheritance of gynoecism in bitter gourd was studied in a 100% gynoecious line (Gy263B).

Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2196-2214, March 2026.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Pleiotropic mutation in a tendril TCP gene underlies the yield‐enhancing multiple‐flowering trait in summer squash (Cucurbita pepo)

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.
SUMMARY Crop yield is a focal point in plant breeding. Regulation of lateral budding through apical dominance was a central target of crop domestication, directly affecting crop production. The young fruits of Cucurbita pepo, summer squash, are produced on plants characterized by apical dominance and differentiation of a single flower bud per leaf axil.

The effect of different processing methods on nutrient retention in African leafy vegetables (fig‐leaf gourd leaves)

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 29-38, February 2026.
Abstract Background Inadequate nutrition is a leading factor in global health challenges, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa, where malnutrition and hunger remain widespread. Fig‐leaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia), a nutrient‐dense African leafy vegetable, is readily available to low‐income populations and holds promise for improving micronutrient intake
