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.

Maize-Pigeonpea Intercropping Outperforms Monocultures Under Drought

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
There is an urgent need to develop resilient agroecosystems capable of helping smallholder farmers adapt to climate change, particularly drought. In East Africa, diversification of maize-based cropping systems by intercropping with grain and tree legumes

Phenotypic Validation and SSR Marker Association in Sesame Germplasm Contrasting for Dry Root Rot (Macrophomina phaseolina) Tolerance

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient oilseed crop of family Pedaliaceae, known for its quality oil, supplemented with dietary advantages due to the presence of bioactive compounds like sesamin and sesamolin. Phyllody and dry root rot (DRR) are the two major biotic stress factors that cause significant yield reduction and economic loss in ...

Genomics-assisted breeding for boosting crop improvement in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Pigeonpea is an important pulse crop grown predominantly in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Although pigeonpea growing area has considerably increased, yield has remained stagnant for the last six decades mainly due to the exposure of

Oviposition and larval establishment of three ‘generalist’ noctuids on Capsicum annuum

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the oviposition and foraging behaviour of pestiferous lepidopterans on their economically important food plants guides the development of effective pest management tactics. Here, we examined the oviposition behaviour and larval establishment of three noctuid species on a single crop—capsicum (Capsicum annuum).

Linking the ICRISAT Genebank to Poverty Reduction and Welfare in Malawi

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 165-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Genebanks contribute to the development of improved crop varieties through the conservation and supply of diverse germplasm for use in agricultural research by scientists, such as plant breeders. Tracing their contribution to the welfare and poverty impacts of improved varieties on smallholder farmers presents multiple challenges, as the ...

Integrated Precision Agriculture and Circular Economy Strategies for Improving Agricultural Productivity and Climate Resilience in Ghana

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Faced with global challenges such as population growth, resource scarcity, and climate change, the world must find sustainable agricultural solutions. Precision agriculture (PA) and the circular economy (CE) emerge as viable options. Our paper explores how these frameworks, along with their associated strategies and examples from Ghana, can address ...

Pigeonpea Apical Dominance is Controlled for Optimum Yield via Nipping and Planting Distance

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2023
Intensive growth of the pigeonpea crop in Central and South India, caused by adequate rainfall, resulted in taller plants with fewer fruited branches, leading to lower yields.
