Alley cropping opportunities and research priorities in orchard systems: A case study in northern California

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Alley cropping is the production of annual and perennial cash crops between orchard trees. Despite its documented benefits, adoption of alley cropping in California remains limited. This paper describes a long‐term commercial alley cropping system in northern California and identifies research areas that can support this practice.

Delivery, Persistence, and Functional Response of dsRNA in Acyrthosiphon pisum: Progress and Remaining Barriers

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 123, Issue 1, September 2026.
Aphids efficiently ingest dsRNA, which persists in the midgut but is rapidly degraded by aphid nucleases when unprotected. Chitosan and LDH‐based formulations improve dsRNA stability, triggering RNAi activation. Despite this protection, gene knockdown remains variable, though the RNAi machinery is consistently activated.

Nectar and flower production in Vicia faba L. (field bean) at ambient and elevated carbon dioxide [PDF]

, 1997
Atmospheric CO2 has been predicted to double by the year 2100. Elevated CO2 causes an increase in photosynthetic rate and extra assimilate is allocated to plant growth, seed and fruit production.

Influence of the Extraction Method on the Technological and Structural Properties of Andean Fava Bean Starch

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The Andean fava bean is a promising source of unconventional starch, but its extraction presents challenges such as obtaining pure starches with less granular damage. This study aimed to characterize the chemical and structural composition of Andean fava bean starches and evaluate the effects of aqueous (AES) and reducing agent (RES ...
