Advances in Cold‐Plasma Technology for Legume Seeds: Mechanisms, Nutritional Quality Improvement, Food Safety and Sustainable Agriculture

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Cold plasma (CP), a nonthermal ionised gas rich in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), has emerged as a sustainable technology for enhancing legume production and quality. This review summarises current advances in CP applications in legumes, focusing on seed germination, seedling vigour, nutrient enhancement, antinutrient reduction ...

Interpopulation Variation in Seed Germination in Three Plantago Species: Effects of Temperature, Osmotic Stress, and Salinity

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Plantago species are widespread in the Mediterranean and have potential applications in restoration of degraded or saline soils. This study examined germination responses of Plantago albicans, P. coronopus, and P. maritima from multiple Iberian populations under different temperature, osmotic stress, and salinity.

Inhibition of Orobanche crenata Seed Germination and Radicle Growth by Allelochemicals Identified in Cereals

open access: yes, 2016
Orobanche crenata is a parasitic weed that causes severe yield losses in important grain and forage legume crops. Cereals have been reported to inhibit O.

Fruit‐quality tradeoffs generate asymmetry in plant reliance on mutualistic frugivores

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Seed dispersal is a fundamental ecological process influencing the evolution of plant life‐history strategies. In fleshy‐fruited plants dispersed by mutualistic frugivores, variation in fruit traits among closely related species may shape the temporal and spatial dynamics of dispersal events critical to population success.

Ecological significance of fruit displays in Myrtaceae: relationship between fruit colour, maturation stage, attractiveness and seed germination

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly

Genotype‐by‐environment interaction informs selection for seed physiological quality and stink bug tolerance in soybean under pest management contrasts

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8530-8544, September 2026.
Genotype‐by‐environment interaction shaped soybean seed stability under contrasting insecticide regimes. Seed longevity emerged as a stable, management‐relevant trait under pest pressure. High‐pressure, no‐insecticide conditions improved discrimination of tolerant genotypes for integrated pest management deployment.

Excised radicle tips as a source of genomic DNA for PCR-based genotyping and melting curve analysis in cotton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Genomic DNA isolation in cotton is complicated because of the presence of secondary metabolites that are inhibitory to PCR amplification. We report here that radicle tips, but not other parts of cotton seedlings, yield high-quality DNA that is readily ...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Can Increase Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Aerobically Grown Rice Under Water‐Limited Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice is a vital staple crop for more than half of the global population, but water limitations threaten its production under flooded conditions. A transition to aerobic production of rice would ease water limitations but may increase nutrient management issues. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi could help by boosting nutrient and water uptake,

Computer vision under inactinic light for hypocotyl–radicle separation with a generic gravitropism-based criterion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This article proposes a computer-vision based protocol, useful to contribute to high-throughput automated phenotyping of seedlings during elongation, the stage following germination.
