Exopolysaccharide‐Based Microencapsulation of Plant Growth‐Promoting Bacillus Strains Improves Germination, Growth, and Yield of Chilean Common Bean Cultivars

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial biostimulants offer sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers in legume cultivation by enhancing seed germination, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience, while maintaining the yield. However, their practical application is often limited by weak shelf life and reduced viability under environmental conditions. In this study, we

Genetic Diversity and Relationships Among Newly Developed Cowpea Mutant Lines Using SSR Markers and Agro‐Morphological Traits

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is a drought‐resilient and protein‐rich legume of major importance in arid and semiarid regions, including Eswatini, where it contributes to food, feed, and nutritional security. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity and relationships among 30 cowpea genotypes, comprising 24 ...

Biostimulatory Potential of Sargassum muticum Extracts in Enhancing Sesame Tolerance to Water Deficit During Germination and Seedling Growth

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Water deficit is a major abiotic stress that limits plant growth and productivity. This article evaluates the effectiveness of an aqueous seaweed extract (ASE) from Sargassum muticum as an ecofriendly biostimulant to alleviate water deficit stress during seed germination and early seedling growth of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.).

Optimization of CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated CtPDS knockout in guar protoplasts

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub.) is a climate‐resilient legume with industrial and agricultural applications. Recently, gene editing has emerged as a key genetic tool for crop improvement. Despite its recent increasing value as a commodity for various uses, there is no documented report of gene editing work in guar to date.

Viral and Host Factors Involved in Host Gain and Host Loss by Tomato Leaf Curl Begomoviruses in Tomato and Cucumbers

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Begomoviruses have jumped hosts between tomatoes and cucumbers, and we found that a short region (transcriptional activator and replication enhancer proteins, TrAp and REn) of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus is mainly responsible for host jump. ABSTRACT Begomoviruses transmitted by whiteflies cause severe crop losses worldwide.
