Sustainable Intensification Option for Sorghum‐Based Cropping Systems in the West African Savanna: A Review of Soil and Crop Management Practices

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Sub‐Saharan Africa faces rising demand for cereal production under conditions of soil degradation, erratic rainfall, and intensifying land use, making sustainable sorghum‐based systems in the West African savanna a regional priority. We synthesized peer‐reviewed and institutional literature published between 1990 and 2024, identified through systematic

Factors influencing phenomic prediction: A case study on a large sorghum back cross nested association mapping population

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Plant breeding is crucial to develop varieties able to cope with climate change and support food and feed value chains. Genomic prediction (GP) has been a major step in increasing their efficiency and recently, phenomic prediction (PP) has gained attention as a promising complementary approach to GP, potentially further increasing this ...

Current understanding of the role of the cell wall in Cuscuta parasitism

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1235-1243, December 2025.
We comprehensively summarise the roles of plant cell wall in key processes of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite Cuscuta. Abstract The plant cell wall (CW) plays a crucial role in many aspects of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite, Cuscuta. Cuscuta parasitism begins with tight coiling around the host stem by the strong tensile force of the ...

In vitro dynamic and quantitative monitoring of strigolactone‐signaling complex formation by time‐resolved FRET

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 5, December 2025.
We developed a new in vitro method using time‐resolved FRET to evaluate the dynamic activation of the strigolactone (SL) receptors. This system was used to gain deeper insights into the molecular mechanism of SL‐signaling complex formation and to detect naturally occurring SLs.

Evaluating Mechanisms of Soil Microbiome Suppression of Striga Infection in Sorghum

Bio-Protocol
The root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica has a devastating effect on sorghum and other cereal crops in Sub-Saharan Africa. Available Striga management strategies are rarely sufficient or not widely accessible or affordable.
