Analyzing Medicago spp. seed morphology using GWAS and machine learning

Scientific Reports
Alfalfa is widely recognized as an important forage crop. To understand the morphological characteristics and genetic basis of seed morphology in alfalfa, we screened 318 Medicago spp., including 244 Medicago sativa subsp.

The role of seed mix characteristics and soil amendments during post‐agricultural prairie restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Prairie restoration on degraded lands may be influenced by seed mix characteristics, including species richness and legume establishment. Soil amendments may facilitate restoration; however, the practical usefulness of techniques such as applications of whole soil and leaf mulch remains relatively unclear.

Herbage components in nitrogen‐fertilized and legume‐containing double‐cropped annual and perennial forages in eastern Nebraska

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Diverse perennial circular systems that focus on grazing offer many environmental benefits. However, the use of annual forages may be necessary where perennial pastures have declined. Our study sought to evaluate herbage components in a double‐cropped annual forage experiment with triticale [×Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus (Secale × Triticum)

Utilizing high‐throughput phenotyping to identify metribuzin tolerance in winter wheat

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Plant breeders and weed scientists address weed management collaboratively by selecting for herbicide tolerance in breeding programs. Metribuzin, a Group 5 PSII‐inhibiting herbicide, is labeled for use in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, application to currently available lines results in frequent, variable, and unpredictable crop injury.

Evaluation of uncrewed aerial system‐derived vegetation indices for forage trait phenomic prediction in oat–pea intercrop breeding trials

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Accelerating genetic gain in intercrop forage breeding requires scalable phenotyping approaches that can capture both yield and quality variation across complex genotype combinations. This study evaluated the use of uncrewed aerial system (UAS)‐derived multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting forage yield and nutritive quality in ...

Grassland forage legumes and drought mitigation – sheep wool application improved soil water availability and enhanced drought–stress responses

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 8073-8084, October 2026.
Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (a w); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress

The Mycorrhizal Fungal Species Funneliformis mosseae Reshapes Rhizosphere Microbial Metabolic Pathways of Soybeans Under Tetracycline Stress

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
The presence of residual antibiotics (tetracycline) poses a threat to food safety in the black soils of northeastern China and a mycorrhizal fungal species Funneliformis mosseae could mitigate the negative effects. This study tracked the changes in soybeans' rhizospheric microbial profiles and the associated metabolites during the bioremediation ...

Benchmarking of Reference‐Based Tools for Strain‐Level Resolution of Plant Microbiome

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Strain‐level identification of each microbe is crucial for understanding its role in the host. Most of the existing tools have primarily been evaluated on human metagenomic datasets, whereas the plant microbiome exhibits greater diversity and complexity and thus poses a challenge in the strain‐level resolution of individual microbes.
