Breeding for plant‐based proteins in pulse and legume crops: Perspectives, challenges and opportunities

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract The consumption of plant proteins is increasing worldwide as a viable alternative to animal‐derived proteins in the marketplace. The projected increase in global population to at least 10 billion by 2050 is placing greater pressure on the food supply, particularly due to the rising demand for large‐scale protein production.

Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Biological Nitrogen Fixation and Nitrogen Transfer from Legume to Companion Species [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2021
The production of food crops in sustainable agriculture demands the use of renewable resources, which include the potential role of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) for supplying nitrogen (N) for crops. Associative

Effective Rhizobia Relieve Negative Effects of Drought Stress During the Vegetative Stage in Soybean Under Field Conditions

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 211, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max L.) forms a symbiotic relationship with compatible soil rhizobia, enabling biological nitrogen fixation. Among numerous factors, moisture deficit is a major challenge to soybean production due to its direct impact on the ability to fix nitrogen.

Drought Stress Modifies the Source‐Sink Dynamics of Nitrogen‐Fixing Soybean Plants Prioritizing Roots and Nodules

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Soybean plants are one of the most cultivated legume crops worldwide. Their ability to establish nitrogen‐fixing symbiosis with rhizobium bacteria allows the reduction of molecular nitrogen to ammonium, contributing to a reduction in the dependence on nitrogen fertilizers.

Relationships between soil health tests and relative abundances of N‐metabolism genes in no‐till, plowed, and undisturbed reference soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Farmers are increasingly recognizing the importance of building healthy soils to enhance farm resilience and profitability. Advances in metagenomic DNA sequencing of soil microbial communities offer opportunities to explore relationships between genes linked to key soil functions and established soil health metrics.

Pulsating Drought and Insect Herbivory Cause Differential Effects on Soybean (Glycine max) Genotypes That Vary in Canopy Wilting Speed

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2025.
Soybean plants exhibit overcompensation when exposed to both insect and drought stress. There are strong genotypic effects within genotypes that vary in wilting speeds. Fast‐wilting plants produced more seeds, but slow‐wilting plants produced higher‐quality seeds.

Systemic Effects of Nitrate, Asparagine, and Glutamine on Nodulation and Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Soybean

Plants
Although it is well established that nitrate exerts an inhibitory effect on nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation in soybean, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Control of Allantoin Accumulation in Comfrey

Natural Product Communications, 2008
Comfrey, a medicinal herb with healing properties that are attributed to allantoin, was studied in this work. The accumulation and metabolism of allantoin (ALN) and its degradation product, allantoic acid (ALA), were examined.

A pattern recognition study of acyclic ureide anticonvulsants

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1990
AbstractA pattern recognition structure-activity study employing topological, geometric and physicochemical descriptors was performed on 27 acyclic ureide anticonvulsants. Twelve numerical descriptors were used as variables in a discriminant function analysis which categorized the ureide analogues with respect to their bioactivity. The results from the

Reprogrammed Plant Metabolism During Viral Infections: Mechanisms, Pathways and Implications

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2025.
This review highlights how plant viruses reprogramme host metabolism, elucidates underlying mechanisms and discusses advanced antiviral strategies, including gene‐editing and metabolomics‐guided approaches. ABSTRACT Plant viruses pose a significant threat to global agriculture, leading to substantial crop losses that jeopardise food security and ...
