Advancing Canning Quality in Common Beans: An Integrated Farm‐to‐Can Framework Combining Breeding, Processing, and Artificial Intelligence

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are essential raw material for the canning industry. This article reviews recent advances in assessing canning quality and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into breeding methodologies aimed at developing genotypes with superior yield and canning‐quality traits.

An Economical Bioprocess for Lipopeptide Production From Bacillus subtilis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The lipopeptide (LP) production potential of Bacillus isolates was evaluated against phytopathogenic fungi, with B. subtilis 4‐Ka‐22 identified as the top‐performing strain. Optimization of the production medium—comprising molasses, soybean meal, CaCl2, and glycerol—resulted in a 13.4‐fold increase in cell growth and over 99% cost reduction compared to

Functional Metagenomics Insights Into the Allium ampeloprasum Rhizosphere Microbiome Under Different Fertilization Regimes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was used to characterize the functional potential of the Allium ampeloprasum rhizosphere microbiome under chemical fertilizer (G1), biofertilizer (G2), and unfertilized (Bulk) soil (G3) management practices. This study revealed that different fertilization regimes altered microbial functional profiles.

Characterization of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and Their Benefits on Soybean Growth

LEGUME RESEARCH - AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL
Background: Soybean is the most important legume in the world and its seeds contains 40% protein and 20% oil. In recent years, more attention has been paid to the use of plant growth-promoting (PGP) rhizobacteria as a biofertilizer alternative to chemical fertilizers, which may pose risks to the environment.
