Nine newly recorded species of Crambidae (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea) from Kosrae Island, Federated States of Micronesia

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity
Nine species of Crambidae are reported for the first time from the Federated States of Micronesia: Glyphodes multilinealis Kenrick, 1907, Diaphania indica (Saunders, 1851), Maruca vitrata (Fabricius, 1787), Sameodes cancellalis (Zeller, 1852), Omiodes ...

Prebreeding Using Wild Species for Genetic Enhancement of Grain Legumes at ICRISAT

Crop Science, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 1132-1144, May–June 2017., 2017
Like many other major crops, ICRISAT's mandate grain legume crops have a narrow genetic base. The production and productivity of these crops is adversely affected by different biotic and abiotic stresses, and high levels of resistance or tolerance to these stresses are not available in the cultivated genepool.

Combining the CowPEAsy Web Application With in Planta Agroinfiltration for Native Promoter Validation in Vigna unguiculata

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 4301-4311, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is an important protein source in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Optimizing resilience and productivity through genetic engineering in cowpea has been slow due in part to a lack of defined species‐specific regulatory elements and difficulty testing gene function within the native system.

Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 661-681, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.

Potential of Cowpea Variety Mixtures to Increase Yield Stability in Subsistence Agriculture: Preliminary Results

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. is an important leafy vegetable and grain legume in Uganda. Unlike in commercial agriculture, where variety mixtures are known to give higher and more stable yields, the performance of cowpea variety mixtures in subsistence agriculture is little known. Mixtures containing up to four cowpea varieties were subjected to

Prevalence of bean scab caused by Elsinoë phaseoli and challenges associated with bean cultivation in Kenya

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract This study investigated the prevalence of scab caused by Elsinoë phaseoli causing yield losses on beans in Kenya. The research focused on common practices and challenges faced by subsistence farmers with the aim of providing insights into scab prevalence, impact, and potential management challenges. A structured questionnaire was employed in a

Baculovirus: Molecular Insights on Their Diversity and Conservation

International Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The Baculoviridae is a large group of insect viruses containing circular double‐stranded DNA genomes of 80 to 180 kbp. In this study, genome sequences from 57 baculoviruses were analyzed to reevaluate the number and identity of core genes and to understand the distribution of the remaining coding sequences.
