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 ...

Heat Tolerance in Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) Is Associated With Coordinated Canopy Cooling and Reproductive Stability Under Field Conditions

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Elevated temperature during the reproductive phase severely constrains cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) productivity; however, the physiological and reproductive traits associated with heat tolerance under field conditions remain inadequately understood. In this study, 30 cowpea genotypes were evaluated across two locations and two sowing

Ratiometric Mycotoxin Detection in Living Plants With Dual‐Emissive Nanosensors

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 47, 21 August 2026.
A minimally invasive microneedle patch integrates carbon dot‐embedded metal–organic frameworks as nanosensors to detect a key fungal toxin in living plants. The nanosensor produces a ratiometric fluorescence signal that enables early, non‐destructive diagnosis of fungal infection before visible symptoms, offering a new biomaterials‐based strategy for ...
