An experimental and modelling exploration of the host-sanction hypothesis in legume-rhizobia mutualism [PDF]

, 2008
Despite the importance of mutualism as a key ecological process, its persistence in nature is difficult to explain since the existence of exploitative, 'cheating' partners that could erode the interaction is common. By analogy with the proposed

Antagonistic effect of rhizospheric bacteria against white rot (Sclerotium cepivorum) of garlic (Allium sativum L.) under in vitro and in vivo conditions

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Garlic (Allium sativum), a vegetable crop used for food, medicine, and condiments, is affected by white rot (Sclerotium cepivorum). Garlic yield reduction is influenced by several factors, with biotic stresses, particularly fungal pathogens, being among the most significant.

Bioactive Phytochemical Compounds in Medicago sativa L. (Alfalfa): A Systematic Review of Biological Properties and Therapeutic Relevance in Nutraceutical and Functional Food Implications

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) harbors a remarkably diverse reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites. Flavonoids, isoflavones, and triterpenoid saponins dominate its bioactivity landscape, driving potent antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, estrogenic, hypolipidemic, and cytotoxic actions through redox modulation, membrane ...

The Efficiency of Maize and Common Bean Intercropping Using Economic, Competitive, and Biological Indices for a Sustainable Production

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Intercropping is an effective method for resource utilization that typically enhances crop yields compared with monoculture. This study was conducted using split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications over the 2022–2023 years.

A Systematic Approach to Field Testing of Biological Products for Horticulture Is Required to Improve Food Security

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Food security challenges require immediate action to increase food production. Many biological products derived from plant, animal or microbial sources claim they sustainably increase yield, but there are concerns about biosecurity to be investigated before their introduction to the field.

Toward Sustainable Fertilization: Biochar and Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) Influence on Sweet Pepper (Capsicuum annuum L.) Development and Production Under Reduced Nitrogen Input

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
The use of beneficial soil microorganisms and organic amendments is a desirable strategy for advancing sustainable horticultural systems. This study demonstrated that biochar and PGPB application with half N dose maintained sweet pepper growth and yield at levels comparable to full N dose, while promoting fruit quality, soil fertility and microbial ...

The Prebiotic and Techno‐Functional Potential of Microbial Exopolysaccharides for Human Health and Food Systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.
