The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Eragrostis curvula is a forage grass species in which multiple cytotypes coexist and shifts between sexual and apomictic reproduction are common. This study investigates genetic variation among these cytotypes in relation to ploidy levels and reproductive modes.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT Pulse flours, such as those from peas, beans, and chickpeas, are highly valued for their nutritional density, making them essential for meeting the rising global demand for plant‐based and gluten‐free foods. Despite these nutritional advantages, industrial use is limited by specific sensorial, nutritional, and technological constraints ...
