Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Compost‐Based Organic Amendments and Synthetic Fertilisers Enhance Soil Health and Crop Yield Worldwide

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fertiliser management is central to achieving sustainable increases in crop productivity while maintaining soil health. Yet, it remains unclear how chemical fertilisers, organic amendments (OAs), or their combination have comparable effects on soil health at a global scale.

Development and characterization of near‐isogenic lines for quantitative trait locus qDT.3B.1 underlying drought tolerance in wheat

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Drought is a critical challenge to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. The quantitative complexity of drought tolerance makes breeding for this trait difficult. Developing near‐isogenic lines (NILs) targeting quantitative trait locus (QTL) for 1000‐grain weight (TGW) under drought stress can effectively identify key mechanisms and genes.

Strip cropping in practice: Higher slug abundance despite a higher number of slug‐predating carabid species

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
To avoid increased slug damage in strip cropping fields in slug‐prone areas, potential slug‐source crops should be spatially separated from slug‐sensitive crops. However, an increase in slug abundance should not deter the adoption of strip cropping as higher slug damage in strip cropping systems was rarely observed by farmers.
