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

Transgressive segregations for agronomic improvement using interspecific crosses between C. arietinum L. x C. reticulatum Ladiz. and C. arietinum L. x C. echinospermum Davis species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The wild species of chickpea have tremendous potential for enhancing genetic gains of cultigen and have resistant accessions against major biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present study, two wild annual accessions, one each of C.

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

Genetic dissection of domestication traits in interspecific chickpea populations

The Plant Genome
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a pulse crop that provides an integral source of nutrition for human consumption. The close wild relatives Cicer reticulatum and Cicer echinospermum harbor untapped genetic diversity that can be exploited by chickpea ...

Altered Expression of an FT Cluster Underlies a Major Locus Controlling Domestication-Related Changes to Chickpea Phenology and Growth Habit

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Flowering time is a key trait in breeding and crop evolution, due to its importance for adaptation to different environments and for yield. In the particular case of chickpea, selection for early phenology was essential for the successful transition of ...

Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S31-S46, May 2026.
Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.

Evaluation of wild Cicer species accessions for resistance to three pathotypes of Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. in Algeria

, 2014
Chickpea is an important food legume crop in the Central, West Asia and North Africaregion (CWANA), accounting for 29% of the total food legume production (Singh, 1990; Zohary and Hopf, 2000; Kerem et al., 2007). It serves as a source of inexpensive high

Bacterial endophytes from wild perennial Cicer confer drought tolerance and induced growth promotion in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

, 2022
Abstract Background and aimsCicer anatolicum and C. oxyodon are the perennial chickpea species found in the Kurdistan region of Iran. They have greater drought tolerance than the most drought tolerant cultivars of chickpea (Cicer arietinum). They have not been examined thus far for endophytic bacteria, which could have potential for promoting ...
