Bentham Science has released Wild Vegetables: Morphology, Phytochemistry and Utility – Part 2, an in-depth scientific reference documenting around 120 wild vegetable species from the Western Ghats, one of India’s richest biodiversity regions.

The latest title from Bentham Science, Sustainable Agriculture Applications Using Large Language Models, explores how artificial intelligence, particularly large language models (LLMs)—is revolutionizing sustainable farming and agricultural management.

Bentham Science’s new release, Sustainable Agriculture Applications Using Large Language Models, highlights the transformative impact of AI and LLMs on sustainable agriculture, from precision farming to efficient resource management.

New research finds damage to rice crops has accelerated in recent decades due to rainstorms that increasingly submerge young plants for a week or more. Adoption of flood-resistant rice varieties in vulnerable regions could help avert future losses.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses—those responsible for bird flu outbreaks—continue to pose challenges for human and animal health. New research led by microbiologist Louise Moncla of the Unviersity of Pennsylvania tracked H5N1 viruses in North America to better understand the role wild birds play in the current bird flu outbreak. These findings could lead to a shift in risk management and outbreak control measures.
