Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 486-498, March 2026.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

QTL Mapping Combined With Transcriptome Analysis to Identify Candidate Genes for Silique Number in Rapeseed

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Silique number is an important yield trait in rapeseed. Identifying the genetic loci and analyzing the molecular mechanism of this trait are of great significance for increasing rapeseed yield. In this study, we conducted a quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis for silique number using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, and detected ...

Exploring the Role of Intercropping and Mulching on Modulating Lettuce Biomass and Rhizosphere Microbiome

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Modern agriculture faces the dual challenge of maintaining high yields while minimising environmental impact, all under increasingly difficult climatic conditions. Practices such as intercropping and mulching have demonstrated potential to improve resource use efficiency, but their effects on crop performance and soil microbial communities ...

Linking Nutritional, Sensory, and Functional Quality in Plant‐Based Proteins Through Structural Modification and Computational Insights

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
The lacking essential amino acids, low digestibility, bioavailability, bitterness, and presence of anti‐nutritional factors that limit the consumption of plant proteins and their use in food formulations are discussed comprehensively. The findings of recent studies on novel technologies and computer‐based applications used to cope with these challenges

Molecular mechanisms associated with rootstock–scion interactions in rubber trees

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) is the main source of natural rubber worldwide. In commercial plantations, high‐yield rubber tree clones are propagated by grafting onto seedling rootstocks. In this study, the transcriptomes of the RRIM 600 clone grafted on different rootstocks in southeastern Brazil were evaluated. Exclusively expressed genes

Shade‐induced transcriptional reprogramming and metabolic adaptation in contrasting soybean genotypes

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Shade stress affects soybean yield in intercropping, but the molecular basis of cultivar‐specific tolerance is unclear. We analyzed shade‐tolerant (Guru) and sensitive (Heinong 53) soybeans under 30% and 70% shade using transcriptomic, physiological, and biochemical methods.

Impact of Soybean Meal, Mustard Meal, Rapeseed Meal and Black Cumin on Production Performance, Egg Quality and Gut Microflora of Laying Hens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
The inclusion of novel protein sources such as mustard meal, rapeseed meal and black cumin in layer diets demonstrates promising results without compromising egg quality, improves body weight gain and reduced gut microflora and Escherichia coli. Overall, strategically integrating these alternative protein sources shows potential for cost savings ...

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...
