Legumes represent the third largest family of angiosperms, with > 18,000 species worldwide (Leguminosae or Fabaceae). Due to their high nutritional value, they have been cultivat‐ ed by many cultures for use in agriculture. Indeed, legumes currently represent some of the most important food, feed and fuel crops grown around the world, second only to cereals. They have a global-production value ...

Plant inner tissues are colonized by bacterial organisms known as endophytes. The relatively recent application of culture independent and molecular high throughput techniques allowed the description of a large diversity of endophytic bacterial taxa. These microorganisms can be found in any plant organ, including fruits and legume nodules. Some endophytic bacteria benefit the host by several me...

Legumes are bee-pollinated, but to a different extent. The importance of the plant-pollinator interplay (PPI), in flowering crops such as legumes lies in a combination of the importance of pollination for the production service and breeding strategies, plus the increasing urgency in mitigating the decline of pollinators through the development and implementation of conservation measures. To rea...

Pigeonpea is a resilient crop, which is relatively more drought tolerant than many other legume crops. To understand the molecular mechanisms of this unique feature of pigeonpea, 51 genes were selected using the Hidden Markov Models (HMM) those codes for proteins having close similarity to universal stress protein domain. Validation of these genes was conducted on three pigeonpea genotypes (ICP...

The imbalance between the crop production and population growth is currently major issue in Ethiopia. To feed growing population, increasing of food through more types same field as an intercropping right strategy. study was aimed at evaluating profitability sorghum-legume on yield sorghum. Intercropping sorghum with legumes crops increases land productivity its Land Equivalent Ratio greater th...

An important management strategy for the development of sustainable agriculture in orchards is ground cover. However, there a knowledge gap regarding effects cover on fruit yield and quality. We performed meta-analysis 580 observations collected from 116 peer-reviewed field studies, to assess quality indicators. Overall, significantly increased yield, soluble solid content, sugar vitamin C cont...

a system has been referred to as green fallow (Gardner et al., 1993). These systems have sometimes been sucGrowing a legume cover crop in place of fallow in a winter wheat cessful in the cooler regions of the northern Great Plains (Triticum aestivum L.)–fallow system can provide protection against (Zentner et al., 2001). Zentner et al. (2004) reported that erosion while adding N to the soil. Ho...

Food contamination with pesticide residues is a serious concern. In United Arab Emirates, ministry of climate change and environment (MOCCAE) carries out incidence/level monitoring in order to acquire data on the presence amounts particular commodity/chemical combinations. This aimed provide necessary information quantitative qualitative multiresidues imported legume crops.
