A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2205-2216, November 2026.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Solid‐State Fermentation of Legumes: Multi‐Scale Structural Modifications to Unlock Techno‐Functional Properties

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes are increasingly used as functional ingredients in plant‐based foods. However, their compact endogenous structure restricts techno‐functional properties. Conventional fractionation methods that isolate proteins further impair these properties and generate co‐products.

Autonomous self‐pollination provides reproductive assurance, whereas insect pollination enhances yield in sesame under tropical field conditions

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 3, November 2026.
This study demonstrates that Sesamum indicum L. combines autonomous self‐pollination and insect‐mediated pollination under tropical field conditions. Autonomous self‐pollination provides reproductive assurance, whereas insect pollination increases grain yield by 28.6%, corresponding to a pollinator dependence of 22%.

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

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
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 ...

How Institutions Shape the Effects of Agricultural Cooperatives on Their Members

Kyklos, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1078-1113, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural cooperatives represent a promising way of improving the quality of life of half a billion smallholders, who account for the vast majority of the world's food production. Yet, little is known about the institutional factors that explain the potential benefits of being a member of a cooperative.

Adventitious root formation confers waterlogging tolerance in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Crop adaptation to waterlogging stress necessitates alterations in their morpho-physiological and biochemical characteristics. Cowpeas, which serve as a dual-purpose legume crop (food and fodder), are sensitive to waterlogging stress, especially when ...
