Agronomic performance, bioactive profile, and nutritional quality of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] under aluminum edaphic stress conditions in the Peruvian Amazon
(Preprints.org, 2026-07-29) Ramírez Chung, José; Vela Paredes, Rafael Segundo; Bazán Marín, Claudia; Tello Célis, Fernando; León Mendoza, Luis Humberto; Campos Cedano, Johnny Carlos; Bazán Ferrando, Alberto José
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is a strategic legume for food security in the Peruvian Amazon owing to its resilience in marginal soils. The aim of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance, bioactive profile, and nutritional quality of eight cowpea accessions grown under high aluminum saturation (69.01%) and extreme acidity (pH 3.50) in Zungarococha (Loreto, Peru). Phenological and yield traits were assessed under a randomized complete block design, together with total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity (DPPH and ABTS), and the proximate and mineral composition of the grain. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among accessions. Accession PER1005852 was identified as a dual-purpose ideotype, combining the highest grain yield (1.42 t ha⁻¹) with a strong antioxidant profile. Protein content ranged from 21.87% to 24.97% (highest in PER1005851), with a high phosphorus content (616.70 mg/100 g in CP0112) and an iron content consistent with the range reported for the species (7.60 mg/100 g in CP0063). Multivariate analysis confirmed that dark seed-coat pigmentation is a phenotypic indicator of greater nutraceutical potential. It is concluded that Amazonian cowpea is a functional food with a dense nutritional profile, of interest for breeding and biofortification programs in the face of climate change.
Spatial variation of acidic sodic soils in high-andean environments and theoretical estimation of gypsum requirement
(John Wiley, 2026-06-03) Quispe Matos, Kenyi Rolando; Hermoza Ayme, Nilton Alexander; Mejia Maita, Sharon Yahaira; Ccosi Mamani, Elvis David; Miranda Quispe, Dalmecio; Choquechambi Apaza, Luz Aleida; Choquehuanca Murillo, Katherin Heidy; Carrasco Ordoñez, Edgar Raddy; Cuellar Condori, Néstor Edwin
High-Andean forage systems are characterized by extensive management of cultivated forages, primarily through rotation of forage oats (Avena sativa) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa), under marginal edaphoclimatic conditions. Within this context, soil sodicity severely constrains the productivity of these systems in the districts of Ayaviri and Macarí, Melgar Province, Peru. However, spatially explicit information on gypsum requirements (GR) for sodic-soil reclamation remains unavailable. To address this gap, this study aimed to: (i) develop a weighted Soil Quality Index (SQIw) for sodic soils, (ii) delineate sodicity-affected areas across districts, soil classes and environmental conditions and (iii) generate high-resolution maps of gypsum requirements using regression kriging (RK). A total of 1273 soil samples were analysed in high-altitude areas of Ayaviri and Macarí. Key sodicity-related variables included exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), clay flocculating charge and Modified Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI) selected through Pearson correlation and principal component analysis to construct the SQIw, while regression kriging was used to generate spatially explicit gypsum requirement maps. Results showed wide variability in pH and ESP, reflecting heterogeneous sodicity conditions across the study area, with Macarí presenting higher soil quality (SQIw = 0.61) than Ayaviri (SQIw = 0.44). Sandy loam soils and acid saline–sodic soils exhibited the greatest vulnerability. Regression kriging achieved high predictive accuracy for GR estimation (R² = 0.97 in Ayaviri; R² = 0.85 in Macarí), enabling precise delineation of priority intervention zones. The resulting GR maps provide a robust basis for site-specific gypsum application, improving amendment efficiency, reducing unnecessary costs and supporting sustainable sodicity management in vulnerable High-Andean agroecosystems.
A new species of Neorthopleura (coleoptera: cleridae: korynetinae) from northern Peru

Genetic structure of traditional cacao reveals four new genetic lineages in indigenous Amazonian sites in Peru

Cacao genetic resources in Peru are largely uncharacterized. Knowledge of their genetic structure is needed for their conservation and use. Indigenous on-farm cacao trees (n = 390) from the Departments of Amazonas (n = 130), Ayacucho (n = 76), Cajamarca (n = 1), Cusco (n = 110), Madre de Dios (n = 10), Piura (n = 59), San Martín (n = 3) and Ucayali (n = 1) in Peru were fingerprinted with 192 single nucleotide polymorphic markers. Identity, group differentiation, phylogenetic, multivariate and ancestry analyses were conducted. Four new populations were identified guided by phylogenetic, accepted ancestral backgrounds of reference samples and least admixture among samples. The cacao from these eight Departments were variably mixed containing both pure members of new populations and admixed samples with these new populations and Amelonado, Contamana, Criollo, Curaray, Guiana, Iquitos, Marañon, Nacional, Nanay and Púrus. The findings of this study suggest that while the cacao germplasm is genetically related across different departments, each region harbors its own distinct genetic composition. The Clade IV (Chuncho 2) population was associated with the Contamana cluster and Clade I (Chuncho 1) was associated with Purus cluster. Clades II (Awajun) and III (Porcelana) were associated with the Nacional cluster. The ancestry of the economically desired CCN 51 cultivar was revealed to be better assigned as 15% Amelonado, 13% Criollo, 25% Iquitos and 45% Awajun. The results of this study will improve the understanding of the genetic landscape in Peru, enhance genebank collections in Peru and enable the differentiation of the fine flavour industry in Peru. The new groups of cacao identified in this study will help understand the genetic structuring of cacao and represent a valuable new resource to search for valuable traits for breeding and commercialization programmes in the fine flavour cacao industry in Peru.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community shifts driven by heavy metals in cocoa agroecosystems at different crop age
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2026-06-09) Del Aguila Torres, Cecil Eduardo; Pezo Torres, Maria Nelly; Vega Herrera, Sergio Sebastian; Verde Girbau, Carlos; Meseth Macchiavello, Enrique; Corazon Guivin, Mike Anderson; Paz Urrelo, Jorge Luis
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is an economically important tropical crop, but its production is increasingly constrained by strict regulations related to heavy metal accumulation in soils. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a key biological component of cocoa agroecosystems due to their role in soil processes and plant nutrition. However, information on AMF diversity and their response to heavy metals remains limited. In this study, AMF communities were evaluated in cocoa plantations of different ages established under contrasting heavy metal conditions. A total of 53 AMF taxa were identified, indicating high fungal richness across all plantations. No significant differences were found in α-diversity indices or community composition among plantation ages. In contrast, multivariate analyses showed that variation in AMF community structure was primarily associated with soil heavy metal gradients, particularly cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn). Species-level models revealed contrasting responses among taxa, with both positive and negative associations along Cd and Zn gradients, suggesting differential tolerance strategies. Overall, these results indicate that edaphic factors, especially heavy metal concentrations, play a more important role than plantation age in shaping AMF community composition. These findings provide a basis for identifying AMF taxa adapted to metal-enriched soils and for developing management strategies that support sustainable cocoa production.
