To detect genetic variations, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers are commonly utilised. ISSR markers were used to determine genetic diversity in 13 chickpea accessions, both cultivated and wild. The pentanucleotide repeat primer UBC-879 generated the best amplification patterns of all the anchored ISSR primers tested. In total, 150...

Lablab [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] is a tropical plant that is native to Asia and Africa. For generations, it has been a novelty garden plant in the United States. Several studies were conducted to characterize lablab productivity under Virginia’s agro-climatic conditions, which are not sub-tropical or tropical. Fresh and...

The goal of this research was to create a cake using a combination of mangalo bean and rice flours. We created and tested four distinct cake formulas with varied percentages of mangalo flour (MF) and rice flour (RF) (0 percent MF + 100 percent RC, 10% MF + 90...

Deforestation and soil nutrient degradation are common outcomes of traditional yam-based cropping systems (shifting cultivation, slash-and-burn, and short fallow). The aim of this research was to see how yam-based systems with herbaceous legumes affected dry matter (DM) production (tubers, shoots), nutrient removal and recycling, and soil fertility changes. Traditional...

Phosphorus is the most important nutrient for the growth and development of plants. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) are known to influence plant growth by enhancing the availability of soluble P. This study aimed to isolate PSB from the rhizosphere of three cultivated legumes (fava bean, chickpea, and green peas) and...
