Harnessing allelic variation to improve the protein content and amino acid profiles of food legumes

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract The growing demand for safe and nutritious foods places unprecedented demands on agriculture. Widespread malnutrition in the Global South could be minimized by including legumes in predominantly cereal‐based cropping systems. Regular legume consumption provides multiple health benefits to humans, positively impacts soil health and microbiome ...

Fine‐Scale Temporal Dynamics of the Honey Bee Hive Microbiome and Foraging Revealed by Airborne eDNA

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Airborne eDNA collected within honey bee hives reveals diverse plant and microbial communities. While richness remains stable, seasonal shifts in plant and microbiome composition highlight dynamic resource use, demonstrating eDNA's potential for non‐invasive, fine‐scale monitoring of foraging and colony health. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) has the

Green Proteins: A Sustainable Alternative to Animal‐Based Proteins for Global Protein Security

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study highlights the drawbacks associated with animal‐based proteins, such as their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, large‐scale land use, and worsening food insecurity. It suggests that green sources of proteins, including legumes, grains, seeds, leaves, and algae, are possible sustainable alternatives. Shifting towards these plant‐based

A Novel Seed-Dressing Formulation Based on an Improved Mutant Strain of Trichoderma virens, and Its Field Evaluation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Using gamma-ray-induced mutagenesis, we have developed a mutant (named G2) of Trichoderma virens that produced two- to three-fold excesses of secondary metabolites, including viridin, viridiol, and some yet-to-be identified compounds.

Phenophasic development of wild Cicer species in relation to agroclimatic indices under rainfed and irrigated conditions

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2018
The field study was conducted on six wild chickpea accessions to evaluate the influence of agroclimatic indices viz., accumulated growing degree days (GDD), photo-thermal unit (PTU) and heliothermal unit (PTU) at various phenophases of chickpea under ...

Human casualties and agricultural crop raiding by wild pigs and mitigation strategies in India

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2011
We investigated the nature and extent of human-wild pig conflict in northern and central India. Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) surviving in disturbed and fragmented habitats were responsible for many human casualties and extensive damage to agricultural crops ...

Freezing stress response of wild and cultivated chickpeas

Frontiers in Plant Science
Chickpea is an economically and nutritionally important grain legume globally, however, cold stress has adverse effects on its growth. In cold countries, like Canada where the growing season is short, having cold stress-tolerant varieties is crucial ...
