The poverty impacts of improved cowpea varieties in Nigeria: A counterfactual analysis

World Development, 2019
Highlights • We examine the impact of improved cowpea adoption on poverty in Nigeria.• We use a unique and recent nationally representative survey data.• Adoption leads to an increase in household income and asset ownership.• Poverty reduces with the ...

Putative involvement of lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA‐mediated ceRNA network regulation in drought priming to enhance drought tolerance in Nicotiana tabacum

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Drought priming increased the tolerance of Nicotiana tabacum to severe, recurring drought stress by modulating the expression of stress‐related genes via long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which acted as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) for microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs).

Comparative proteomics analysis of root and nodule mitochondria of soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3482-3499, July 2026.
Abstract Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a huge carbon source to generate sufficient reducing power. To maintain the symbiosis, malate is supplied by legume nodules to bacteroids as their major carbon and energy source ...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)–maize (Zea mays L.) intercrops grown with fertilizers enhanced cowpea grain yield and profitability in Guinea savannah of Ghana

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
The low yield of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) in sub‐Saharan Africa is credited to several limitations, including poor soil fertility and unsustainable cropping systems.

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3573-3585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Infection of Cowpea Protoplasts with Both the Common Strain and the Cowpea Strain of TMV

Journal of General Virology, 1981
Summary The common strain of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) which does not multiply in cowpea plants, can infect isolated cowpea mesophyll protoplasts to a level of 50 to 70%. The highest percentage of infection was obtained when both the virus and the protoplasts were preincubated with poly-d-lysine and inoculation was with 1 µg/ml virus, 1 µg/ml poly-d ...

Tripartite Symbiosis Between Legumes, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Nitrogen Fixing Rhizobia: Interactions and Regulation

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3789-3807, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Legume plants can interact with nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) simultaneously, forming a tripartite symbiotic association. Co‐inoculation studies performed on a variety of legumes have shown that rhizobia and AMF influence each other when they co‐occur in tripartite association and affect host plant ...

New Integrative Vectors Increase Agrobacterium rhizogenes Transformation and Help Characterise Roles for Soybean GmTML Gene Family Members

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3824-3836, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hairy‐root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of ...

Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4027-4040, July 2026.
ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its
