Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Intercropping Chickpea with Flax in Saskatchewan, Canada, Reduces Ascochyta Blight

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chickpea is a nutritious crop grown in drier parts of Saskatchewan. The disease Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei, makes production risky. Small plot trials at four Saskatchewan locations from 2018 to 2022 aimed to test the hypothesis that intercropping chickpea with flax reduces Ascochyta blight.

Comparative Evaluation of Soda and Nitrate‐Alkaline Pulping of Hemp, Flax, and Sisal Post‐harvest Biomass

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2026.
The study compares hemp, flax, and sisal as nonwood raw materials for pulp production using soda and nitrate‐alkaline cooking. It evaluates chemical composition, cellulose crystallinity, yield, delignification, and paper strength. Sisal showed the highest tensile performance, while the choice of cooking method significantly influenced the quality and ...

Improvement of the technological process of fiber flax pulling at swath harvesting

Tractors and Agricultural Machinery
BACKGROUND: The most labor- and cost-intensive process in flax production is harvesting, which, depending on the technology used, takes 65–80% of labor costs, 55–75% of monetary costs and up to 40% of energy costs. Swath harvesting includes fiber flax pulling with a flax puller and simultaneous fiber flax retting in bands on the field.
