Ethnomedicinal Uses of Thai Legumes (Fabaceae) and Their Potential in Industrial Applications

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Thai legumes (Fabaceae) are rich sources of bioactive phytochemicals, including saponins, flavonoids, biochanin A, and daidzein. These compounds contribute to diverse ethnomedicinal properties, including antioxidant, antiviral, anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and cardioprotective activities.

Application of Omics Technologies for Cowpea Improvement

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a vital crop for food security, nutrition, and climate resilience in sub‐Saharan African and other semi‐arid regions. However, its improvement is constrained by the complexity of polygenic traits such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, and seed quality.

Soybean induced resistance to Spodoptera eridania herbivory

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9931-9943, October 2026.
SOD, CAT, APX, PPO, KTI, and MDA levels were higher in the resistant soybean. S. eridania herbivory increased H2O2 and MDA, but decreased SOD and PPO levels. S. eridania herbivory increased KTI activity only in the resistant variety. Isoquercitrin and daidzin were exclusive to resistant and susceptible soybeans.

Thrips Species Composition in Ontario Greenhouse Floriculture: Innovative Identification Tools and Implications for Integrated Pest Management

open access: yesInsects
Proper species identification is the keystone of successful integrated pest management (IPM). However, efforts to identify thrips species in Canadian greenhouses have not been formally made since the 1980s. In response to recent increases in crop damage,

Cinderella Biodiversity: Three Decades of Monitoring Reveal Earlier Emergence and Increasing Abundance in Undervalued and Sparsely Recorded Flying Insects and Ballooning Spiders

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
We provide 30 year trends in abundance and phenology for the less well known charismatic flying insects and ballooning spiders that we class as neglected and undervalued ‘Cinderella species’. We show that of the 71 groups studied, the majority of taxa, all trophic groups and nearly all habitat use groups report increasing abundances and stable or ...
