Seed‐Associated Trichoderma and Their Potential as Biocontrol Agents Against Plant Diseases

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Trichoderma is a genus of beneficial fungi widely used in agriculture. Over 2 years of routine seed health analyses, we investigated the diversity of seed‐borne Trichoderma strains associated with seeds from 32 cultivated plant species. We assessed their mycoparasitic activity and their potential for disease suppression and plant growth promotion ...

Pigeonpea Nutrition and Its Improvement [PDF]

Journal of Crop Production, 2002
Abstract Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millsp.), known by several vernacular and trade names such as red gram, tuar, Angola pea, Congo pea, yellow dhal and oil dhal, is one of the major grain legume crops of the tropics and sub-tropics. It is a favorite crop of small holder dryland farmers because it can grow well under subsistence level of agriculture

Use made of wild legume relatives in breeding [PDF]

, 2010
Presently vast genetic resources are available for improvement of the main crops used by humans and animals. The ex-situ collections safeguard those resources collected in the past, although not all collections are safe even today as far as personnel and

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

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

Genome‐wide analysis of DNA methyltransferases in a model extremophyte, Schrenkiella parvula: Transcriptional dynamics during development and under salt stress

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Classification of DMTs into 4 subfamilies: two METs, three CMTs, three DRMs, and one DNMT2. The cis‐elements are associated with stress‐response, hormonal regulation, light‐response, and development. RNA‐seq analysis revealed differential expression of DMTs under NaCl stress.

The Effect of Food Value Chain Interventions on Food Security in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Household participation in food value chain interventions in sub‐Saharan Africa was associated with 16‐percentage‐point lower food insecurity prevalence, higher dietary diversity, 506 kcal greater daily energy intake, USD 42 higher annual food expenditure per person, and improved child weight‐for‐age. Producer‐level benefits included USD 45 higher farm

Response of cereals to intercropping with non‐food crops in tropical and subtropical regions: A meta‐analysis

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Intercropping cereals with non‐food intercrops (NFICs) provides a means to enhance cereal productivity while providing additional benefits such as improved soil health or forage production. We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the effect of NFICs on cereal yields, cereal nitrogen uptake, and striga (Striga spp.) infestation, using 874 ...
