Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1121-1144, August 2026.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Rootstock Evaluation for Grafted Cucumbers Grown in High Tunnels: Yield and Plant Growth

HortScience, 2020
Grafting technology is increasingly being accepted in the United States, particularly for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production under protected structures. There is a great potential to expand this technology to other high tunnel crops. Using grafting

INFLUENCE OF ROOTSTOCKS ON Fusarium WILT, NEMATODE INFESTATION, YIELD AND FRUIT QUALITY IN WATERMELON PRODUCTION

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2015
Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata rootstock are used to prevent infection with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum in watermelon production; however, this rootstock is not effective against nematode attack. Because of their vigor, the grafted plants can

Phytodetoxification of Lindane (γ‐Hexachlorocyclohexane) With Plants Expressing a Bacterial Dechlorinase

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana engineered to express the linA (dehydrochlorinase) gene of Sphingobium japonicum strain UT26 manages to remove the persistent contaminant lindane from soil. ABSTRACT The construction and performance of plants capable of detoxifying the organochlorine pesticide (lindane, γ‐hexachlorocyclohexane or γ‐HCH) is reported.

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 ...

Morphological and Multilocus Phylogenetic Characterisation of Fusarium Species Causing Fruit Rot in Pumpkins

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Eight Fusarium species are associated with the pumpkin rot in north‐east Brazil. ABSTRACT Pumpkin (Cucurbita) is a cucurbit of great economic and social importance in Brazil. However, fruit rot caused by Fusarium species represents a significant limitation to crop production, compromising quality and hindering commercialisation.

High‐Throughput Sequencing Analysis Reveals a Novel Varicosavirus Associated With Vein Yellowing Disease in Cucurbita pepo

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
In 2022, vein yellowing symptoms appeared in a zucchini crop in Greece. High‐throughput sequencing revealed the presence of a novel varicosavirus. There is a strong association of the novel virus, putatively named as cucurbit vein yellowing‐associated varicosavirus (CVYaV), with the symptoms observed on zucchini plants in the field.
