Rhizobial Symbiosis Enhances Salinity Tolerance in Legumes Through Coordinated Physiological and Molecular Responses: Evidence From Common Vetch and Pea. [PDF]
Plant Cell EnvironABSTRACT Soil salinisation severely constrains crop production. Legumes rely on rhizobial symbiosis for sustainable nitrogen acquisition. Although salinity is known to impair nodulation and nitrogen fixation, how symbiosis influences plant tolerance to salt stress remains unclear.

Enriched-biochar application increases broccoli nutritional and phytochemical content without detrimental effect on yield. [PDF]
J Sci Food Agric, 2022 Abstract BACKGROUND Soil fertility is a major concern during vegetable production. Conventional versus organic fertilization has been studied in order to conserve soil properties. While some reports point out an increase in food nutritional properties, the loss of crop yield under organic conditions continues to be a problem.

Influence of genetic diversity, drought stress and rhizobial symbiosis on the nutritional quality of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) grain. [PDF]
J Sci Food AgricAbstract BACKGROUND Legumes are the primary source of plant protein in both human and livestock diets and, therefore, play an essential role in nutrition. Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is a grain legume widely used in animal feed. Its nutritional properties, particularly its high protein content, make it an adequate component to enrich feedstuffs ...

Genome-wide association studies of a pea germplasm reveal novel markers and candidate genes implicated in resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi races 1 and 2. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an essential legume crop cultivated globally as food and feed. However, its production is greatly constrained by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi (Fop). Breeding for resistance is the most efficient management strategy, but the genetic foundation of Fop resistance remains unclear.

Identification of genomic regions associated with partial resistance to Aphanomyces root rot in pea. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Root rot caused by Aphanomyces euteiches is a major concern in pea (Pisum sativum L.). The lack of other effective control strategies makes crucial the development of resistant varieties. Although partial resistance has been reported, its quantitative inheritance, the association of resistance‐linked genomic regions with unfavorable agronomic ...

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 The soursop fruit (Annona muricata L.) is a crop of significant economic value for Nayarit, which is characterized by having a bittersweet taste, making it attractive to the consumer. However, the soursop has rapid maturation which causes a short shelf life.

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Fruit and vegetable products are susceptible to the attack of fungi during postharvest handling. Chemical fungicides are the most commonly used technique to control fungal diseases. However, an alternative product is the use of plant extracts, which have been reported in in vitro and in vivo conditions.
