Application of Omics Technologies for Cowpea Improvement

Plant-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.

Research on Weakly Supervised Deep Learning Model for Semantic Segmentation of Pest and Disease Regions in Durian Blind Spots

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Durian is a high‐value economic crop, which presents challenges in the orchards, such as complex terrain, significant canopy shading, and blind spots in manual inspections. These blind spots often become the key sources of pest and disease spread, which requires the drone‐based intelligent monitoring solution capable of operating stably in complex ...

How does leaf age affect performance? A comparative study of essential oils from young and mature Eucalyptus globulus leaves in crop protection

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7510-7525, August 2026.
Leaf age influences metabolomic profiling but not bioactivity of Eucalyptus globulus essential oils. Leaf age affects volatile levels of young and adult E. globulus oils, but not their bioactivity. Young leaf essential oil had higher contents of α‐ and β‐pinene. AEEO had higher levels of 1,8‐cineole and trans‐pinocarveol.
