Gene Editing and Transformation Strategies for Engineering Drought‐Tolerant Legumes

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes play a vital role in agriculture, nutrition, and the economy, but their production faces significant threats. Among these, drought and its unpredictability will be the most damaging constraint in the coming decades. Enhancing drought tolerance is essential for resilient and sustainable legume cultivation, and genetic engineering ...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata): Genetics, genomics and breeding [PDF]

Plant Breeding, 2018
AbstractCowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.), is an important grain legume grown in the tropics where it constitutes a valuable source of protein in the diets of millions of people. Some abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect its productivity. A review of the genetics, genomics and breeding of cowpea is presented in this article.

High‐Resolution Genomic Resources for Trait Mapping and Precision Breeding for Adzuki Bean (Vigna angularis)

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
This study establishes crucial genomic resources for adzuki bean, including a reference genome, variation map, and the AdzukiBeanAtlas toolkit. We identify key candidate genes (ANKRD50, NAC73, ANR1, NPF5.4) for important agronomic traits through Genome‐Wide Association Studies (GWAS).

Summer legumes following winter wheat boost soil nitrogen availability and corn yield

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Efficient nitrogen (N) management is critical for improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and sustaining corn (Zea mays L.) yields. We evaluated summer cover crops planted after winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to quantify biomass, N content, soil N dynamics, and subsequent corn performance under rainfed conditions in eastern Nebraska ...

The genome of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) [PDF]

The Plant Journal, 2019
Summary Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is a major crop for worldwide food and nutritional security, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa, that is resilient to hot and drought‐prone environments. An assembly of the single‐haplotype inbred genome of cowpea IT97K‐499‐35 was

Antiproliferative Effect of Okra Seed Protein Isolate against HepG2 and A549 Cell Lines

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cytotoxic effects exhibited by OSPI against A549 cells significantly reduced the cell viability. Elevated caspase levels induced by OSPI in Hep‐G2 cells suggest intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis. Treatment with OSPI and DOF exhibited elevated p53 expression in A549 cells, suggesting p53‐mediated apoptosis.
