Lablab (Lablab purpureus) [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] is termed a lost, underutilized and neglected crop in Africa. Despite the multipurpose use, production, consumption and research are still limited. Wide genetic diversity of lablab germplasm exists in Africa. Diversity studies provide signi...
Approximately two-thirds of all cultivated fields occurred in close proximity to, and flowered coincidentally with, common sunflower populations. In these populations, the phenological overlap was extensive, with 52–96% of all wilds flowering coincidentally with the adjacent cultivar field. Moreover...
Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) could represent a positive alternative in order to accelerate water transfer and reduce drying times2,3. Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) treatment consists of the application of electric fields of high intensity (>0.1 kV/cm) and short duration (from milliseconds to m...

Recent studies have demonstrated that organoids can be used to model organ development and disease and have a wide range of applications in basic research, drug discovery and regenerative medicine. Researchers are now beginning to take inspiration from other fields, such as bioengineering, to ...
The use of entomopathogenic fungus is becoming a very effective method to control TRSM in tea fields. They are unique in their mode of action and generally infect their hosts through the external cuticle. Microbial pesticides must be monitored regularly to prevent them from developing the capacity ...
“There has been tremendous work in the science and engineering of quantum-sensing hardware over the past decades, and now this technology is also poised to benefit from advances in related fields,” Nadia Carlsten, vice president of product at SandboxAQ, told us. “More sensor types and bette...
Graphene optoelectronic devices operating in the terahertz gap between 0.1 and 10 THz are even more promising13,14,15,16, as THz technology in this range is emerging as a potential solution for a variety of problems in fields as diverse as cancer detection, atmospheric monitoring, and ...
Diglyphus species are dominant biocontrol agents for suppressing outbreaks of agromyzid leafminers in fields. In July 2015, we collected a new thelytokous species of Diglyphus in Qinghai, China. The wasp is here named as D. wani Liu, Zhu & Yefremova
