Peanut response following soybean grown full‐season or double‐cropped after wheat in North Carolina

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Including soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the previous cropping cycle can adversely affect peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) yield by increasing disease incidence and populations of plant‐parasitic nematodes in the soil. The impact of double‐cropping wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and soybean versus full‐season soybean (referred to as the soybean

Comparative Effects of Organic and Mineral Calcium Sources on Yield, Nutritional Quality, and Postharvest Storage of Aubergine (Solanum melongena L.)

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
We assessed the comparative effects of applying organic and mineral calcium sources on aubergine production, quality, and storage. Analysis of yield parameters, nutritional quality of fruits at harvest and fruits physical quality during storage showed that the use of eggshell and beef bone powders as calcium sources can improve aubergine fruit ...

Functionally complementary bacterial inoculant coordinates arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve Angelica sinensis root yield and quality

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
Comprehensive understanding of how diverse PGPR strains enhance the rhizosphere microenvironment remains a considerable challenge. Here, we provide experimental evidence that a functionally synergistic composite microbial formulation can markedly enhance growth performance and improve the quality attributes in Angelica sinensis.

Identification and Functional Characterization of Isoflavone synthase Gene Family in Pea (Pisum sativum): The Entry Point to Pisatin Biosynthesis

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Isoflavone synthase (IFS), a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase of the CYP93C subfamily, catalyzes the conversion of flavanones into isoflavones, the first committed step in the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid phytoalexins. In pea (Pisum sativum L.), the phytoalexin pisatin plays a pivotal role in defense against pathogens.

Validating Oxford Nanopore Technologies Amplicon Sequencing as an Alternative to Sanger Sequencing for Generating Plant Molecular Markers

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Molecular phylogenetic markers used to be ubiquitously obtained by Sanger sequencing, while recently, next generation sequencing (NGS) approaches have become popular alternatives. In this study, a pipeline utilizing Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) amplicon sequencing (amplicon‐seq) was examined as an alternative to Sanger sequencing, with nine loci [

Postharvest Quality and Disorders of ‘Hass’ Avocado Fruit

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
‘Hass’ avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is a major commercial crop, grown in many countries from which it is shipped to global markets. Commercial success in a competitive marketplace is dependent on supplying fruit of acceptable quality. After dispatch from the packhouse, quality is assessed at two main points in the supply chain, on arrival at the ...
