Aphid Resistance in Pulse Crops: Sources, Mechanisms, Genetics and Breeding
Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Aphids are major pests of pulse crops, causing damage through phloem sap feeding and virus transmission. In this context, resistant varieties are central components of sustainable aphid management. This review synthesizes current knowledge on resistance sources, phenotyping strategies, resistance mechanisms, genetic control and breeding ...

Automatic measurement of rice tiller angle from unmanned aerial vehicle images
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) tiller angle is an important trait that influences plant architecture, canopy light interception, and yield potential. In this study, we proposed a deep learning‐based pipeline for automated measurement of rice tiller angle and plant base width using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery.

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Grain quality in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn.) remains a major challenge for plant breeders because grain yield and grain protein concentration often show a trade‐off, and both are influenced by grain nitrogen concentration.

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Urbanisation, climate uncertainty, and limited city budgets have heightened the need for efficient urban drainage management. While advanced hydrodynamic models assess the performance of drainage networks, they are computationally intensive, time‐consuming, and expensive.

At‐nest drone monitoring causes minimal behavioural disturbance in breeding Eurasian Curlew
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.Incubating Eurasian Curlew taken with DJI Mavic 3T optical camera at a height of 25 m. Drone‐based monitoring of breeding Curlew in lowland England caused minimal behavioural disturbance. Although incubating birds frequently looked up at the drone, displacement from the nest was rare, suggesting that drones can provide an effective low‐impact ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 5, October 2026.Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
