Influence of Dry and Steam Thermal Pretreatments on the Structural Properties and Flowability of Faba Bean Flours

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Faba beans are emerging as a promising alternative protein source for bakeries, snacks, cereals and ready‐to‐eat foods. The quality and consistency of such products depend strongly on the processing behaviour of their flours, including handling, storage, mixing and extrusion performance, all of which are governed by flour flow and structural ...

Accession‐Specific Responses to Submergence Stress in Lotus japonicus: Implications for Legume Climate Resilience

open access: yesJournal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding is a major abiotic stress that limits legume productivity and ecological resilience. Identifying variation in submergence tolerance among legume accessions is critical for developing climate‐resilient cultivars. This study investigated phenotypic and physiological responses to complete submergence in nine Lotus japonicus accessions ...
