Foliar iron and zinc applications mitigate salinity stress in Althaea officinalis L.: Effects on yield, antioxidant responses, and mineral composition

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Foliar application of micronutrients may help alleviate the adverse effects of salinity on crop plants. This study evaluated the effects of foliar‐applied iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) on Althaea officinalis L. grown under saline conditions. A factorial experiment was conducted using three salinity levels (0, 4, and 8 dS m−1, imposed with NaCl) and ...

Root traits of modern alfalfa lines with contrasting stem fiber digestibility

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a perennial legume forage crop with high‐quality forage and a robust root system. Alfalfa roots support forage growth and contribute to soil carbon and nitrogen supplies. Novel alfalfa lines selected for stem fiber digestibility have been developed, but the consequences of these selections on root traits are ...

Mucuna pruriens as a Sustainable Functional Food: Applications From Seed to Product

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
This review highlights Mucuna pruriens as a nutrient‐rich legume with significant nutritional, therapeutic, and agricultural value. Its protein‐rich seeds contain essential minerals and L‐DOPA, but high antinutritional compounds require effective processing before consumption.

Spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping for crop water stress assessment: A review

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Water stress is a major limiting factor for crop productivity worldwide, and its impacts are intensifying due to climate variability and increasing water scarcity. This review focuses on the spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping as a critical approach to improving crop water‐stress assessment and supporting precision water ...

BerryBox: An affordable computer vision system for postharvest phenotyping of cranberry and other small fruits

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Fruit size, shape, color, and percent fruit rot are important quality traits for breeding cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.). Image analysis can be used to measure these traits, but affordable hardware for standardized image capture and integrated user‐friendly software pipelines are lacking.

Genomic and phenomic prediction models improve selection accuracy for complex traits in alfalfa

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Predictive breeding has been proposed as an effective approach to accelerate genetic gain for complex traits. Genomic prediction (GP) models have been developed in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) for key traits in the last decade. More recently, phenomic prediction (PP) models have been proposed as a low‐cost, high‐throughput alternative to GP in

Early‐life stage phenomic prediction of field agronomic traits across breeding cycles in intermediate wheatgrass

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Perennial grains represent a promising frontier for sustainable agriculture, but breeding progress is constrained by the accessibility of genotyping and the difficulty of evaluating complex traits expressed for multiple years after establishment across heterogeneous environments.

Balancing gain and diversity: Optimal contribution selection for sustainable genetic improvement in sugarcane

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ∼80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's complex polyploid genome and long breeding cycles, which limit the efficiency of traditional selection methods.

Understanding environmental adaptation in intermediate wheatgrass

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium) is a perennial grain crop that offers many environmental benefits through extensive root systems in addition to food production. IWG's distribution across broad environmental gradients in Eurasia provides a model system for studying climate adaptation genetics essential for developing ...
