The Influence of Lead on Generation of Signalling Molecules and Accumulation of Flavonoids in Pea Seedlings in Response to Pea Aphid Infestation

Molecules, 2017
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an abiotic factor, i.e., lead at various concentrations (low causing a hormesis effect and causing high toxicity effects), on the generation of signalling molecules in pea (Pisum sativum L.

Gene Editing and Transformation Strategies for Engineering Drought‐Tolerant Legumes

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes play a vital role in agriculture, nutrition, and the economy, but their production faces significant threats. Among these, drought and its unpredictability will be the most damaging constraint in the coming decades. Enhancing drought tolerance is essential for resilient and sustainable legume cultivation, and genetic engineering ...

Pea Flours Display Wide‐Ranging Intrinsic Physicochemical and Functional Traits Affecting Their Role as Food Ingredients

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
Pea flour functionality is rooted in genetic diversity. This study leverages rapid NIR spectral screening of 650 Pisum sativum accessions to uncover intrinsic variability in unrefined pea flours. Twenty spectrally distinct samples were selected for compositional and functional analysis. Wide‐ranging protein solubility and physicochemical heterogeneity,

Phänotypische Merkmale für die Selektion heimischer Leguminosen auf Methioninreichtum in der Pflanzenzüchtung [PDF]

, 2009
Ein Problem der Fütterung von Schweinen und Geflügel mit 100 % Futtermitteln aus Ökologischen Landbau sind die unzureichenden Methionin-(Met)-Gehalte im Protein europäischer Körnerleguminosen. Ziel der hier präsentierten Arbeiten ist es, neue Leguminosen

Sex‐Specific doublesex Regulation Targeting the Color‐Patterning Gene h Underlies the Evolution of Wing Sexual Dimorphism in the Harlequin Ladybug Harmonia axyridis

Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2026.
doublesex regulates sexual dimorphism in elytral color patterns of Harmonia axyridis by downregulating the color patterning gene h in males. This regulatory link diverged in derived color morphs, coinciding with the loss of sex‐specific elytral color patterns.

Effects of temperature and humidity on the presence and prevalence of a common fungal parasite on an invasive ladybird

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 86-97, February 2026.
We investigated how temperature and relative humidity influence the parasitic fungus Hesperomyces harmoniae on the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis under controlled laboratory conditions. Abiotic factors significantly affect parasitism: High relative humidity increased parasite prevalence, development rate, and load, while both low and high ...

Improving competitive ability of chickpea with sowthistle [PDF]

, 2005
An experiment was conducted to examine the extent of root and canopy interference of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) with sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.). Sowthistle was surrounded with either two or eight chickpea plants.

Structural variation drives rhizome innovation and adaptive divergence in sister Medicago species

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 406-424, February 2026.
Chromosome‐scale genome analysis, population resequencing, stress‐responsive transcriptomes and functional assays showed that coding and regulatory structural variants, especially gene duplications and noncoding presence‐absence variants, underlie rhizome formation in alpine Medicago archiducis‐nicolai and contrasting xeric adaptation in its non ...
