Contextualized Metabolic Modelling Revealed Factors Affecting Isoflavone Accumulation in Soybean Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3543-3559, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Isoflavones, secondary metabolites with numerous health benefits, are predominantly found in legume seeds, especially soybean; however, their contents in domesticated soybean seeds are highly variable. Wild soybeans are known for higher seed isoflavone contents than cultivars. Here we used experimental and modelling approaches on wild soybean (

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3573-3585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Tripartite Symbiosis Between Legumes, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Nitrogen Fixing Rhizobia: Interactions and Regulation

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3789-3807, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Legume plants can interact with nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) simultaneously, forming a tripartite symbiotic association. Co‐inoculation studies performed on a variety of legumes have shown that rhizobia and AMF influence each other when they co‐occur in tripartite association and affect host plant ...

Biased retention and functional diversification of CESA superfamily genes in Medicago mediating development and abiotic stress responses

BMC Plant Biology
Medicago sativa is a globally cultivated forage crop, and improving its digestibility and stress tolerance remains a central breeding goal. The Cellulose synthase (CESA) superfamily is central to cell wall biosynthesis and influences plant development ...

Influence of cutting frequency and height on phytoestrogen levels in red clover and white clover

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Phytoestrogens are a class of secondary compounds naturally produced by some forage legumes, including red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.). Previous research showed that phytoestrogens can have beneficial and negative effects on animal health and reproductive function.

Evaluation of soda saline-alkali tolerance in six Medicago sativa varieties

Siliao yanjiu
This study aimed to investigate the effects of soda saline-alkali stress on seed germination in six Medicago sativa varieties. The dish filter paper germination method was employed, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) were mixed at ...

A comparative study on plant growth and ion accumulation between alfalfa and hybrid wheatgrass under salt stress

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Perennial grasses and legumes are important for the reclamation of salt‐affected land. A comparison study on salt tolerance of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and hybrid wheatgrass (Elymus hoffmannii) could contribute to understanding the relative salt tolerance of these species, in addition to providing germplasm information for salt tolerant ...

Sainfoin stand termination: Variable herbicide efficacy in field conditions

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Effective termination of perennial forage legumes is a critical step in a crop rotation system, particularly in arid and semi‐arid regions where soil moisture conservation and timely establishment of subsequent crops are essential. Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.), a deep‐rooted, drought‐tolerant forage legume gaining renewed interest ...

Soil amendment effects on field‐saturated and unsaturated hydraulic properties of sodic soils

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Soil sodicity degrades soil structure and restricts water movement by promoting clay swelling, dispersion, and surface sealing, thereby reducing infiltration and hydraulic conductivity. This study aims to evaluate the effects of four soil amendments (elemental sulfur, gypsum, compost, and humate) on the hydraulic conductivity of sodic soils ...
