Effects of Direct Steam Injection and Spray‐Drying on the Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Functional Properties of Black Bean Protein Concentrates

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Effects of direct steam injection and spray‐drying on the physicochemical, nutritional, and functional properties of black bean protein concentrates. ABSTRACT Direct steam injection (DSI) and spray‐drying are key unit operations in the industrial production of pulse protein ingredients that are often overlooked in laboratory‐scale studies.

The Rhizobium etli amtB Gene Coding for an NH4+ Transporter Is Down-Regulated Early During Bacteroid Differentiation

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
During development of root nodules, Rhizobium bacteria differentiate inside the invaded plant cells into N2-fixing bacteroids. Terminally differentiated bacteroids are unable to grow using the ammonia (NH3 ) produced therein by the nitrogenase complex ...

Endopolygalacturonase Genes from Colletotrichum lindemuthianum: Cloning of CLPG2 and Comparison of Its Expression to That of CLPG1 During Saprophytic and Parasitic Growth of the Fungus

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
Following the previous isolation of CLPG1, a gene encoding an endopolygalacturonase (endoPG) secreted into the culture filtrate of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, we have isolated and sequenced an additional endoPG gene, CLPG2.

Nutritional quality traits in pea seed: Current knowledge and opportunities for genetic improvement

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
This comprehensive review on nutritional traits in pea (Pisum sativum L.) summarizes the literature on genetic improvement of this highly nutritious and environmentally sustainable crop for different end‐uses. Abstract Pea is a major pulse crop valued for its high protein, carbohydrate, and mineral content, as well as its agronomic role in sustainable ...

Valorization of Ficus carica Pruning Residues as Selective Botanical Insecticides: Optimized Furanocoumarin Extraction, Efficacy Against Neotropical Stink Bugs, and Mechanistic Insights via Molecular Docking

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.
Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Liebig Review: Essential and Beneficial Elements in the Regulation of Cadmium Uptake and Tolerance in Crop Plants

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 429-444, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd2+) contamination in agricultural soils has been reported to pose risks to crop productivity, food safety, and human health. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the mechanisms by which essential (S, Zn, Fe, Mg, K, Ca) and beneficial (Si, Se, rare earth elements) elements mitigate Cd2+ toxicity in plants.

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1121-1144, August 2026.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 831-841, August 2026.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

Development and Reproduction of Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Heteroptera: Miridae): The Effect of Temperature, Origin and Food

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 842-850, August 2026.
Nymphal development took longer at 25°C than 30°C, and the Greek N. tenuis population developed more slowly than the commercial population. Nymphs clearly preferred E. kuehniella eggs over Artemia sp. cysts when both were offered equally. Egg production increased at 30°C, while female longevity declined.
