Advancing Thermotolerance in Beans: Integrating Physiology, Genomics, and Breeding for Climate Adaptation

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Effects of Common Mycorrhizal Networks and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Ascochyta Blight in Chickpea

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea) is susceptible to Ascochyta blight (AB). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotic root colonizing fungi that exchange soil nutrients for photosynthetic carbon. AMF form common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs), connecting plant roots and transferring nutrients.

Agronomic and Grain Quality Traits of Different Chickpea Cultivars Grown in Southern Germany

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In Germany, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is so far considered as a “new” crop. Introducing “new” crops in new growing regions can face many challenges. One of the major challenges is selecting appropriate cultivars. This study aimed to provide clear, region‐specific recommendations for suitable chickpea cultivars to support future agronomic ...

Tolerance to Simulated Pod‐Borer Herbivory Among Several Genotypes of Extra Short‐Duration Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is a major global legume crop that provides nutrition and income for some of the world's poorest people. Global pigeonpea yields are constrained due to damage from flower‐ and pod‐feeding lepidopteran pests, particularly Helicoverpa armigera.

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

Legume 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 ...

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1449-1456, September 2026.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Harnessing exotic germplasm for red clover improvement: Tracking genomic introgression and deploying genomic selection

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally important temperate forage legume. Its symbiosis with soil‐borne rhizobia enables nitrogen fixation, and its ability to produce quality forage under diverse soil conditions enhances pasture productivity, particularly during water deficits.

Metagenomics Reveals Microbial Community Shifts Associated With Contrasting Anthropogenic Impacts in Freshwater Sources of A Coastal Protected Area in Southeastern Brazil

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 9, September 2026.
Metagenomics revealed distinct anthropogenic signatures in the microbiome of freshwater sources on Marambaia Island, supported by the Anthropogenic Impact Index (AII). Impacted sites showed lower microbial diversity, enrichment of fecal‐associated taxa, and 14 antimicrobial resistance genes, whereas conductivity, salinity, and turbidity explained 88.1%

Transitioning From Rice‐Wheat to Diversified Rice‐Based Rotations Enhances Rice Production and Mitigates Greenhouse Gas Emissions Across Asia

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Rice‐wheat cropping systems underpin food security across Asia but also represent major sources of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Replacing wheat with diversified crop species to create alternative rice‐based cropping systems may become an effective strategy for sustainable production.
