Fingerprinting of Semi‐Refined Flaxseed Protein Using Raman Spectroscopy and Multivariate Analysis: Pulsed Electric Field (PEF)‐Assisted Alkali and Aqueous Extraction Methods Alter Composition and Protein Conformation

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Structural changes in semi‐refined flaxseed protein extracts were effectively characterized using Raman spectroscopy coupled with PCA. The application of higher PEF energy enhanced hydrophobic interactions among aliphatic amino acids, while at lower PEF inputs, the extraction medium dictated secondary structure formation: α‐helices favored in aqueous ...

Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Landrace diversity and heritage of the indigenous millet crop fonio (Digitaria exilis): Socio‐cultural and climatic drivers of change in the Fouta Djallon region of Guinea

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
White fonio (Digitaria exilis [Kippist] Stapf) is an understudied millet crop, indigenous to West Africa and cultivated in the region largely through traditional practices. This species is climate‐resilient, fast‐growing, nutritionally rich, and provides livelihoods and food security to rural communities.

Roots of resilience: Optimizing microbe‐rootstock interactions to enhance vineyard productivity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grape production relies significantly on agrochemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, to sustain vine health and yield. However, excessive or improper use of these inputs leads to detrimental environmental effects, including soil degradation, water contamination, and biodiversity decline.

Plot‐level satellite imagery can substitute for UAVs in assessing maize phenotypes across multistate field trials

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Maize plays a key role in agricultural profitability and food security on six continents. Successful efforts to breed higher‐yielding maize varieties depend on replicated yield trials in many environments. Capturing in‐season data can help improve and accelerate the development of regionally adapted hybrids, but collecting these data can be impractical

A comprehensive review of the genetic control of cooking time in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing cooking time could increase dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) consumption. Cooking is an essential processing step needed to unlock the nutrients in dry beans and to make them palatable and safe for consumption. Long cooking times have consequences for dry bean use, especially where cooking fuel cost is high and when people prefer foods that are ...

The current state of peas in the United Kingdom; diversity, heritage and food systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Landraces and traditional pea varieties hold great potential for enhancing agrobiodiversity and promoting pulse consumption, offering a rich historical and cultural resource for the UK food system. Unfortunately, many traditional pea varieties are lost, and those saved are often kept in seed banks or used only by small‐scale growers.

Target gene selection for sprayable dsRNA‐based biopesticide against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Silencing Prosbeta‐5 and Prosbeta‐1 resulted in high mortality in Tetranychus urticae, identifying them as potential target genes for double‐stranded RNA‐based biopesticides using spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS). Abstract BACKGROUND Because of the excessive use of synthetic chemicals, the two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, a highly ...

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Differences in within‐plant oviposition preferences and immature survival between Orius predators and the importance of spatial availability of prey

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Orius predators oviposit endophytically, and plant characteristics play an important role in their oviposition choices. In this study, we show that oviposition preferences differ between species, and that these differences may correlate with juvenile performance.
