How Do Management Choices Impact the Performance of Cassava‐Legume Intercropping in Africa? A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intercropping can enable sustainable intensification. In Africa, smallholder farmers rely on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a staple food. Nevertheless, the performance of cassava intercropping emerges from management choices such as legume species selection, planting density, sowing time, and nitrogen (N) fertilisation as well as soil ...

Lectin‐Modified Screen‐Printed Carbon Electrodes (SPE) for the Electrochemical Detection of Transferrin

Electroanalysis, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
We developed an impedimetric biosensor by electrochemically oxidizing screen‐printed carbon electrodes, allowing the covalent immobilization of Concanavalin A for selective holotransferrin detection. After the target protein is captured, the device monitors changes in charge–transfer resistance using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

High‐Throughput Glucose Biosensing Using Jack Bean [Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC.] Lectin as Electrochemical Signaling Element

Electroanalysis, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
An electrochemical biosensor employing Canavalia ensiformis lectin immobilized on a Prussian Blue‐modified glassy carbon electrode was developed for label‐free glucose detection at submicromolar levels. The integration of lectin biorecognition with the conductive Prussian Blue layer ensured stable and selective signal transduction.

Bacterial Cellulose Synthase Catalyzes the Formation of Chitin

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 15, 20 April 2026.
Recombinant BcsA‐B from Rhodobacter sphaeroides is shown to cleave UDP‐GlcNAc (uridine diphosphate N‐acetylglucosamine), generating chitin with distinct β‐chitin Raman bands. These findings reveal that a cellulose synthase can process an alternative nucleotide sugar, providing biochemical evidence for the co‐synthesis of cellulose and chitin.

El desarrollo de leguminosas de cobertura por hongos micorrízicos arbusculares depende del grado de especificidad de los simbiontes

Manglar
Los hongos micorrízicos arbusculares se asocian a las leguminosas para mejorar la fijación de nitrógeno y la absorción de nutrientes, promoviendo así el crecimiento vegetal y reduciendo el uso de fertilizantes.

Gene Editing and Transformation Strategies for Engineering Drought‐Tolerant Legumes

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes play a vital role in agriculture, nutrition, and the economy, but their production faces significant threats. Among these, drought and its unpredictability will be the most damaging constraint in the coming decades. Enhancing drought tolerance is essential for resilient and sustainable legume cultivation, and genetic engineering ...
