Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 648-657, November 2026.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

Saline‐Water Irrigation Elicits Hormetic Yield Responses in Sweetpotato Across 28 Genotypes Under Field Conditions

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of saline water for irrigation is increasing as the quantity and quality of irrigation water resources are declining. Saline irrigation also provides a means to investigate crop responses to heterogenous salinity, which is a common occurrence in agricultural fields. Crop responses to salinity are dose‐ and genotype dependent, providing

Coupling Oxygen‐Enriched Drip Irrigation With an Optimized Nitrogen Rate Improves Yield, Water Productivity and Grain Quality of Winter Wheat: A Two‐Season Field Study

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Drip irrigation displaces soil air at the emitter and transiently depresses dissolved oxygen (DO) in the wetted root zone, and recovery is slow in fine‐textured, slightly saline soils. Whether aeration of the irrigation stream can be combined with nitrogen (N) management to raise water productivity while safeguarding grain quality in winter ...

Rhizosphere Engineering by Root Exudates: High‐Yielding Alfalfa Recruits Functional PGPR to Sustain Soil Nutrient Availability Under Long‐Term Cultivation

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8763-8778, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient transformation capacity is a critical determinant of sustainable productivity in perennial cropping systems; however, the extent to which high‐yielding crops actively regulate rhizosphere microbial assembly to maintain nutrient availability remains poorly understood.

A Wild Emmer Wheat B3 Transcription Factor Regulates Seed Growth and Nutrient Allocation

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 7900-7910, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed weight (SW) and nutrient allocation are key determinants of yield and grain quality in wheat, yet the regulatory basis of naturally occurring variation in these traits remains poorly resolved. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides), the progenitor of modern wheat, retains extensive eco‐geographically structured genetic diversity that was
