Gas Chromatography‐Based Methods for Profiling Volatile Off‐Aroma Compounds in Grain Legumes: A Review

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Instrumental characterisation of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), responsible for off‐aroma, is mainly centred on gas chromatography‐based techniques. Despite previous reviews that have addressed the chemical compounds and biosynthetic pathways of off‐aroma generation, to date, there is a lack of a comprehensive review that critically ...

Effects of grain-producing cover crops on rice grain yield in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique

Revista Ceres
Besides providing benefits to the environment such as soil protection, release of nutrients, soil moisture maintenance, and weed control, cover crops can increase food production for grain production.

A New Subspecies of Vigna unguiculata (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae)

Kew Bulletin, 1997
Study of herbarium material of wild Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. has revealed specimens from Ethiopia with very large stipules; the long calyx lobes place them in the "mensensis group". All have an allogamous style and an unbeaked keel twisted to the left, like subsp. pawekiae Pasquet from south-central Africa (Pasquet 1993b). Subsp.

Development of a Stealth Health Approach to Improving Lysine Consumption in Nigeria With a Focus on Urban Populations

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Since the Green Revolution, the intake ratio of cereal grains to pulses has increased considerably, coinciding with marked declines in dietary quality, specifically protein and fiber consumption. Prominent increase in consumption of bread formulated with wheat flour has exacerbated the decrease in dietary quality, characterized by a decrease ...

Influence of Cowpea Plants on Soil Bacterial Community and Soil Quality: Effects of the Rhizosphere

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata), a vital legume for suitable agriculture and food security in sub‐Saharan Africa, plays a crucial role in improving soil health through intricate plant‐microbe interactions in the rhizosphere. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the microbial interactions in the rhizosphere, focusing on soil health ...

De novo transcriptomic analysis of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) for genic SSR marker development

BMC Genetics, 2017
Background Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is one of the most important legumes in tropical and semi-arid regions. However, there is relatively little genomic information available for genetic research on and breeding of cowpea.

The Effect of Summer Cover Cropping on Soil Health Is Limited by the Quantity of Carbon Inputs in a Winter Dominant Low Rainfall Environment

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The effects of summer cover crops on cash crop yields and soil health in semi‐arid cropping systems in southern Australia remain largely unexplored. A study was conducted in Western Australia to investigate cover crop impacts on soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, soil water, and mineral nitrogen (N) and cash crop yield.

Genetic diversity and structure of Iberian Peninsula cowpeas compared to world-wide cowpea accessions using high density SNP markers [PDF]

, 2017
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is an important legume crop due to its high protein content, adaptation to heat and drought and capacity to fix nitrogen. Europe has a deficit of cowpea production.

How Do Management Choices Impact the Performance of Cassava‐Legume Intercropping in Africa? A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intercropping can enable sustainable intensification. In Africa, smallholder farmers rely on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a staple food. Nevertheless, the performance of cassava intercropping emerges from management choices such as legume species selection, planting density, sowing time, and nitrogen (N) fertilisation as well as soil ...
