Integrating multi-omics approaches to shape legume root system architecture under drought stress: a comprehensive review Sajad Majeed Zargar, Tamana Khan, Rakeeb Ahmad Mir, Aaqif Zaffar, Uneeb Urwat, Majid Rashid, Parvaze A. Sofi, Baseerat Afroz, Priyanka Deveshwar, Randeep Rakwal, Sajad Ali Frontiers in Plant Science, 2026 Drought stress profoundly impacts agricultural productivity, significantly reducing crop yields and global food insecurity. Consequently, improving crops to develop resistance against drought stress is imperative. To combat the adverse impact of climate change on crop productivity, designing the root system architecture (RSA) of crops can be a viable option. RSA is essential for crop adaptation and productivity because most soils have different resource distributions making the spatial root distribution a crucial factor for judicious resource exploitation. RSA involves several structural features like root length, branching angle, and thickness which play key roles in developing crops with desirable roots. Legumes are protein-rich foods and the diverse number of cultivated species makes them one of the most widespread crops. However, legumes are greatly affected by various abiotic stresses like drought and mineral stress. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the environmentally adaptive root development to improve agronomic traits in legumes by employing the OMICS approaches. Several abiotic stressors like drought stress demand proliferative and deep root systems, hence it is important to comprehend the response of RSA to stressors. Further, the genetic regulation (genomics) accompanied by other omics approaches aid in deciphering the biology behind RSA in legumes. The current appraisal may help in devising strategies to modulate legume RSA for efficient uptake of water and nutrients under drought stress.
Exploration of green house gas emissions, avoided deforestation potential and carbon trade: insights from prominent agroforestry systems of Indian Himalaya Iqra Farooq, Nazir A. Pala, G. M. Bhat, Megna Rashid, P. A. Sofi, Peerzada Ishtiyak Ahmad, A. R. Malik, J. A. Mugloo, Shaista Khan, M. Maqbool Rather, Eranbemo Ovung, Shiekh Marifatul Haq Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2026 The present study is reported from the central region of Indian Kashmir Himalayas with the aim of (i) identifying and documenting tree species in the agroforestry systems along with the preferred usage, (ii) quantifying green house gas (GHG) emissions and avoided deforestation potential, and (iii) assessing biomass and carbon stock for their trade potential. Purposive, multi-stage, and random sampling procedures were followed for the selection of sampling units based on the availability of agroforestry land use systems. A total of 19 tree species belonging to 9 families and 12 genera were documented. Species like Populus deltoides, Populus nigra, Salix alba, and Salix fragilis were found to be highly preferred for fuelwood, fodder, and small timber extraction. The total green house gas (GHG) emission potential of this extracted material is 64.35 tC and 235.95 tCO 2 , with the maximum CO 2 emission from Salix alba (28.05 tCO 2 ). A total quantity of 143 quintals of biomass is extracted annually from the 19 tree species utilized for fuelwood, fodder, and small timber, resulting in an average avoided deforestation potential of 75.26 m 3 . The highest offset value of US$ 1492.79/Mg was recorded for Horti-silvi-pastoral systems, followed by Homegardens (US$ 1414.51/Mg), and the minimum offset value of US$ 626.38/Mg was recorded for Boundary plantations. On an average, a single sampled household helps to sequester 4.7 Mg of carbon annually in the present study. Therefore, a cluster-based approach by bundling villages together in the entire Ganderbal district would result in approximately sequestering 213,196 Mg CO 2 e and hence would yield US$ 536,620 per annum. The present study's estimation of carbon stock and carbon offset values could act as a baseline for the future implementation of CDM, REDD, and REDD++ projects in J&K.
Melatonin improves high temperature stress tolerance by physiological and reproductive stabilization in common bean S. Kruthika, Apoorva Ashu, Amol P. Solanke, J. V. Navodhaya, C. Harimadhav, T. Basavaraja, Ajay Arora, Parvaze Sofi, Madan Pal, P Ratnakumar, P. V. Vara Prasad, S. Gurumurthy Scientific Reports, 2025 The common bean is an essential legume crop that faces significant productivity threats from high temperature stress (HTS). It negatively impacts physio-biochemical processes, floral organ development, and fertilization, and degrades seed and nutritional quality, leading to yield losses. To alleviate the impact of HTS on common bean genotypes that are tolerant to water deficit stress (WDS), foliar applications (0 and 300 µM) of melatonin (MT), a low-molecular-weight organic compound that acts as both a plant hormone and an antioxidant, was applied at pre and post flowering stage of the crop. Two experiments were conducted to study the efficacy of MT foliar application on common bean genotypes under HTS (I & II) conditions during the late Rabi (post-rainy) season of 2023-24. Foliar application of MT reduced the canopy temperature by 29.1% under HTS-I (29-32 °C) and 7.9% under HTS-II (32-35 °C) and increased the pollen viability by 25.8% and 45.9% under HTS-I and II, respectively. In addition, MT significantly enhanced seed yield, with increases of 11.2% and 34.4% under HTS-I and HTS-II, respectively. MT also increased the micronutrient content of the seeds under HTS. Overall, these results provide a comprehensive understanding of the protective and tolerance effects of MT against HTS, ensuring yield stability in HTS-prone areas.
Identification of water deficit stress tolerant genotypes of common bean using adaptive root and shoot traits under different screening systems Ishrat Riyaz, Aaqif Zaffar, Samreen Fatima, Sadiah Shafi, Rayan Bhat, Sanifa Showkat, Tamana Khan, Fehim J. Wani, Sajad Majeed Zargar, P. V. Vara Prasad, Parvaze A. Sofi Scientific Reports, 2025 Common bean is an important component of global nutritional security. Climate change driven water deficit stress impairs crop performance by implicating both above and below ground plant parts in crops like common beans that are largely grown in marginal low input farming systems. In order to develop climate resilient bean cultivars, it is imperative to understand response of root and shoot traits to water deficit stress and identify genotypes with adaptive plasticity under stress. In the present study, we assessed the differential response of 45 bean genotypes for root and shoot traits under agar system, PEG-6000 mediated in vitro stress as well as column culture in greenhouse. There was significant genetic variability in per se response and plasticity of root and shoot traits, under control and water deficit stress, Basal root angle ranged from 36.67 to 56.67 while as basal root number had a range of 7.45-14.33. Severe reduction in root and shoot traits was observed under water deficit stress in shoot biomass (60.20%), followed by plant height (42.40%), root biomass (31.50%), while as lowest decrease was observed in rooting depth (13.33%). However, root-shoot ratio increased by 89.05% under water deficit stress. Pearson correlation and PCA revealed that root depth and root biomass significantly impact plant height, shoot biomass and number of leaves further reaffirming our hypothesis that roots traits are important selection attributes for above ground plant performance under stress conditions. Genotypes WB-216 and N-2 were superior for most of the traits with adaptive plasticity response to water deficit stress and can be used for development of climate resilient bean varieties.

Unveiling hard seededness and enhancing seedling vigor: Genotypic response and priming strategies in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) under temperate conditions G Audil, AL Ajaz, P A Sofi, M A Wani, M A Bhat, Z Ar Dar, FW Fazil, A Liyaqat, R Munezeh, F J Wani, K Rajneesh Kumar Plant Science Today, 2025 A comprehensive study was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Wadura, SKUAST-Kashmir, to evaluate hard seededness and the effect of seed priming in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) genotypes over two consecutive years (2021 and 2022). Genotypic variation for hard seededness was evident. In 2021, 80 of the total genotypes evaluated showed full germination, 36 had 1-5 hard seeds and 7 had more than 10 hard seeds, with hard seed counts ranging from 0 to 12. In 2022, only 52 genotypes achieved complete germination, while 60 genotypes had 1-10 hard seeds and 10 genotypes had more than 10, for a total range of 0 to 22 hard seeds. Notably, genotype PKV-AKM-4 consistently produced the highest number of hard seeds in both years (12 in 2021 and 22 in 2022). Furthermore, a seed priming experiment indicated substantial differences between mung bean genotypes and priming regimens. Rhizobium-treated seeds had the greatest average root depth (9.1 cm), root weight (0.099 g) and shoot weight (0.133 g). Trichoderma treatment produced the longest shoot length (7.3 cm), followed by Pseudomonas treatment, which produced a shoot length of 6.4 cm and a root weight of 0.064 g. These data show the effectiveness of microbial seed priming, particularly with Rhizobium and Trichoderma, in improving early seedling vigor in mung bean genotypes. The observed variance in hard seededness highlights the possibility for developing mung bean cultivars with lower dormancy to enable uniform field emergence. Microbial seed priming, notably with Rhizobium and Trichoderma, has been shown to significantly improve root and shoot development, as well as early seedling vigor. Adoption of these priming approaches can improve crop establishment and production stability under a variety of agroclimatic conditions.
