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 ...

Soil salinity effects on pollen and pollinator visitation in a buzz‐pollinated glycophyte, Solanum carolinense

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Premise Human activity has significantly altered the salt cycle, affecting an estimated 2.5 billion acres of soil worldwide. Elevated soil salinity is a well‐known plant stressor, but it may also affect interactions between plants and insects, which are often sodium limited.

Exploring Chickpea Germplasm Diversity for Broadening the Genetic Base Utilizing Genomic Resourses

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Legume crops provide significant nutrition to humans as a source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids as well as specific macro and micronutrients. Additionally, legumes improve the cropping environment by replenishing the soil nitrogen content. Chickpeas are

Unlocking nature's vault: Innovative tools for plant genebanks

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) are material containing useful genetic variation in plant species, including their weedy and wild relatives. Collections of PGR are mined for useful traits as needed to respond to new biotic and abiotic stresses; incorporate new nutritional, yield, or value‐added traits; and create new markets or industries.

The Multi‐Omics Opportunity to Improve Heat Adaptation in Chickpea

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Heat stress during reproductive development is a critical constraint to chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) productivity in major growing regions, where high temperatures cause yield losses through flower and pod abortion, reduced pollen viability and impaired grain filling.

First Report of Ascochyta Blight of Cicer montbretii, a Wild Perennial Chickpea in Bulgaria

Plant Disease, 1998
In the Stranja Mountains of southeastern Bulgaria, native populations of Cicer montbretii Jaub. & Spach were found on the edge of a road in an oak forest near the village of Gramatikova (42°1′38″N; 27°36′49″E) at an elevation of about 125 m. C. montbretii, a perennial species, is the only wild Cicer sp. native to Bulgaria.

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3573-3585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.
