Landraces and indigenous varieties comprise valuable sources of crop species diversity. Their utilization in plant breeding may lead to increased yield enhanced quality traits, as well resilience various abiotic biotic stresses. Recently, new approaches based on the rapid advancement genomic technologies such deciphering pangenomes, multi-omics tools, marker-assisted selection (MAS), genome-wide association studies (GWAS), CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing greatly facilitated exploitation landraces modern breeding. In this paper, we present a comprehensive overview implementation highlight their importance pinpointing genetic basis desirable traits annual, perennial herbaceous, woody cultivated Mediterranean region. The need for further employment advanced -omic unravel full potential underutilized diversity is also indicated. Ultimately, large amount data emerging from investigation reveals source genes role mitigating ongoing risks posed by climate change agriculture food security highlighted.

Identifying cultivars of leguminous crops exhibiting drought resistance has become crucial in addressing water scarcity issues. This investigative study aimed to select soybean and cowpea with enhanced potential grow under restriction during the vegetative stage. Two parallel trials were conducted using seven (AS3810IPRO, M8644IPRO, TMG1180RR, NS 8338IPRO, BMX81I81IPRO, M8808IPRO, BÔNUS8579IPRO) (Aracê, Novaera, Pajeú, Pitiúba, Tumucumaque, TVU, Xique-xique) four levels (75, 60, 45, 30% field capacity-FC) over 21 days. Growth, content, membrane damage, photosynthetic pigments, organic compounds, proline analyzed. Drought stress significantly impacted growth both crops, particularly at 45 FC for 60 45% plants. The BÔNUS8579IPRO TMG1180RR demonstrated highest performance drought, a response attributed increased amino acids contents, which likely help mitigate damage. For cowpea, superior drought-stressed Xique-xique cultivar was associated maintenance content elevated contributed preservation efficiency carbohydrate levels. Our findings clearly indicate promising that restriction, serving as viable alternatives cultivating water-limited environments.

Lead (Pb) is a major contaminant among heavy metals in the soil environment that has negative impacts on growth of plants, which ultimately cause health risk via entering into food chain. In this regard, plant promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) might improve by counteracting harmful effects Pb stress. Therefore, present pot study was conducted to evaluate role PGPR improving cowpea Pb-contaminated soil. Three different concentrations (250, 350, and 750 mg kg−1) were applied alone (control) combination with bacterial inoculums [S1 (Pseudomonas fluorescens), S2 stutzeri) S3 gessardii)] using completely randomized design each three replicates. Results showed fresh weight, dry shoot length, root chlorophyll contents plants improved significantly (P ≤ 0.05) applying isolates as compared un-inoculated contaminated control. Among isolates, performed better other isolates. The maximum increase content observed under strain. Bacterial inoculation also enhanced concentration uptake recorded strain at kg−1. Consequently, it been concluded great potential enhance physiological characteristics sites can be used for bioremediation purposes.

Abstract Background Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is used primarily as food for humans and feed animals. It also soil management within a cropping system. However, cowpea production confronted with numerous challenges. As such farmers consumers alike have certain preferences in terms of utilization. This present study investigated systems, traits preference constraints among the Nandom, Lambusie Lawra districts northern part Upper West Region Ghana. A total 306 farming households were sampled from 3 chosen districts. Questionnaires interviews data collection. The IBM SPSS software, version 22, was employed to analyze using descriptive statistics, specifically frequencies, percentages crosstabulations. Results study’s results indicated that majority (58.5%) practice intercropping, whereas minority (41.5%) sole cropping. intercropped maize, millet, sorghum yam. Farmers preferred varieties following traits: high yield, drought tolerance, early maturing, pest resistance, improve fertility, price, demand, better taste, less cooking time, storage quality, palatability fast growing. susceptibility pests, incidence, late maturity, difficulty harvesting, input cost, small grain size, low disease poor colour, lack improved variety, are some hinder production. Conclusion indicate need behavioural change communication assist adopt appropriate systems. should be involved technology development order understand their enable subsequent adoption technologies. this call an interdisciplinary committee plan breed meet needs farmers.

Studying the effects of genetic and environmental factors on plant biochemical components helps in selecting best varieties for food industry breeding programs. This study analyzed nutritional qualities, secondary metabolites, antioxidant activities 14 field-grown yardlong beans accessions how they are affected by differences pod seed colors. The parameters varied significantly among bean accessions, with variances ranging from 1.36% total unsaturated fatty acid content to 51.01% DPPH• scavenging activity. Accessions YLB4, YLB7, YLB14 performed best, showing indices 100.00, 70.10, 67.88%, respectively. Among these, showed a characteristic property, having highest levels vitamin C (2.62 mg/g) omega-6 omega-3 ratio (2.67). It also had second dietary fiber (21.45%), stearic (4.44%), linoleic (40.39%) contents, as well lowest thrombogenicity index (0.38). Although cluster principal component analyses did not clearly separate based or color, analysis variance revealed that these their interaction significant phenol, activity, ABTS•+ reducing power. In contrast, parameters, except fiber, were color variations. Therefore, consuming different colors may affect overall nutrient intake. general, this identified green pods black seeds good sources antioxidants. Accordingly, further metabolomics genomics studies suggested thoroughly explore characteristics.

Protected cultivation is the sustainable approach to horticultural crop production under adverse climates. In this study, performance of yard-long beans three protected cultivations, including single-span polyhouse (SSP), five-span (FSP), and insect-proof net house (IPN), examined compared open field cultivation. The above can extend harvest period pods by 6–10 days, improve their quality, increase yield 15.6% 25.1%, reducing incidence severity thrips Cercospora leaf spot, rust, powdery mildew. Among them, grown in SSP are longer straighter shape have lowest pests diseases highest levels total polyphenols, sugar, soluble protein, starch, fiber. This indicates that has broad application beans. Through full subset regression analysis (FSRA), we report here bean occurrences were highly impacted climatic factors, especially UV radiation intensity air temperature.
