Selection of suitable additives for seed pelletizing to enhance germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia in restoration of semi‐arid degraded rangelands

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Despite direct seeding, seed pelletizing with useful materials is one of the effective methods to improve plant growth. This experiment assessed the impacts of different additives used in seed pelletizing on germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia at a degraded semi‐arid rangeland.

Gene Editing and Transformation Strategies for Engineering Drought‐Tolerant Legumes

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes play a vital role in agriculture, nutrition, and the economy, but their production faces significant threats. Among these, drought and its unpredictability will be the most damaging constraint in the coming decades. Enhancing drought tolerance is essential for resilient and sustainable legume cultivation, and genetic engineering ...

Assessing the Impact of Agrivoltaic Systems on Pasture Plant and Soil Microarthropod Communities

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Agrivoltaic systems (AVS) integrate renewable energy production with agricultural use, creating novel microclimatic gradients that can affect ecosystem structure and function. However, the ecological consequences of these gradients on vegetation composition and soil biological quality remain poorly understood, particularly in pasture‐based AVS

Molecular polymorphisms that underlie trait variation in crops: Lessons learned from soybean

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Genetic variation within a germplasm is important in crop improvement, providing a foundation for breeders to develop new varieties. Traits of agronomic and economic importance are often mapped to identify the genetic basis of observed phenotypes, oftentimes using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis.

Medicago super-pangenome reveals adaptive advantages and evolutionary constraints in autotetraploid alfalfa

Nature Communications
The genetic basis for the adaptive advantages of polyploids over their diploid relatives remains poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we generate a haplotype-resolved autotetraploid alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp.
