Global Carbon Investment in Terrestrial Biological Nitrogen Fixation

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) provides the N needed to produce proteins and other biological building blocks, helping feed humanity and mitigate climate change. Due to its high energetic cost compared to other forms of N acquisition, biotic investment in BNF indicates N limitation. Globally gridded BNF flux data provide an opportunity

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

Soil‐Applied Silicon Does Not Affect the Performance of Aphis craccivora on Cowpea Genotypes

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is an important crop in tropical regions, where infestations of the black aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae), can significantly reduce productivity. Silicon (Si) fertilization has been proposed as a strategy to enhance plant resistance to herbivores, although its effectiveness varies among plant ...

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1121-1144, August 2026.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Natural Variation of NAR5 Determines Nitrogenase Activity and the Yield in Soybean

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.
This study identified NAR5, a gene encoding a subtilisin‐like protease, that regulates nitrogenase activity in soybean nodules. Overexpressing NAR5 delayed nodule senescence, enhancing nitrogenase activity, yield, and low‐nitrogen tolerance. The elite haplotype NAR5HapI‐1 linked to superior nitrogenase activity and greater seed weight has been ...
