Influence of selected rootstock on growth parameters, accumulation of IAA and vitamins in scions of Cucumis sativus L. and Cucumis melo L.

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
Grafting with resistant rootstocks is one of the most effective methods to prevent soil-borne diseases, and it can influence vegetative growth, flowering, maturation periods, and fruit quality, thereby ensuring high yields.

A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 230-245, April 2026.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

Are crop yields limited by pollinators? Proper assessments using pollinator gradients require measurements of flower density and yield potential

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 563-569, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract It is widely documented that many crops depend on animal—and primarily insect—pollination, but the degree to which pollinators limit yield in comparison with other factors is poorly understood.

The effect of different processing methods on nutrient retention in African leafy vegetables (fig‐leaf gourd leaves)

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 29-38, February 2026.
Abstract Background Inadequate nutrition is a leading factor in global health challenges, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa, where malnutrition and hunger remain widespread. Fig‐leaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia), a nutrient‐dense African leafy vegetable, is readily available to low‐income populations and holds promise for improving micronutrient intake
