Irrigation using slightly saline water from emerging desalination technologies as a solution to short‐term drought

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
With global weather patterns becoming more extreme and unpredictable, sourcing reliable irrigation water is vital for improving food security and conserving drinking water in drought‐prone areas. Emerging desalination technologies, which are still in the development phase, could potentially provide large quantities of slightly saline water for ...

Determination of ploidy among yam (Dioscorea spp.) landraces in Kenya by flow cytometry [PDF]

, 2016
Yam (Dioscorea spp.), a traditional crop in Kenya has not undergone improvement and little has been done to understand its genetic background. The taxonomy and phylogeny of the local landraces has not been fully studied.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

PCR-DGGE analysis: Unravelling complex mixtures of badnavirus sequences present in yam germplasm [PDF]

, 2017
Badnaviruses (family Caulimoviridae, genus Badnavirus) have emerged as serious pathogens especially affecting the cultivation of tropical crops. Badnavirus sequences can be integrated in host genomes, complicating the detection of episomal infections and

Cœnocytic Vessel Elements in Dioscorea alata L. [PDF]

Nature, 1963
DURING the course of a morpho-histogenic study on the cultivated species of Dioscorea of Gujarat State, India, certain observations were made on the development of the vessel elements in the stem of D. alata (Kamodio variety). The vessel elements of the plant were found to be unusual in being very broad with long scalariform plates which often exhibit ...

Extraction and Comprehensive Characterization of Starch From Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) Seeds as a Non‐Conventional Source

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 1, January 2026.
A native starch was extracted from ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.), yielding a high‐purity product with a significant starch content. The starch exhibited type A and V crystallinity, with a mean particle size (D50) ~7 nm, high swelling power, and low retrogradation tendency.

Functional properties of a promissory Dioscorea trifida waxy starch for food innovation [PDF]

, 2010
Starches with low amylose contents generally exhibit good gel clarity, high swelling power and RVA peak viscosity, large breakdown, and high resistance to retrogradation during gel storage, as compared to some other starches with higher amylose contents.
