| Leaf nitrogen (A) phosphorus (B) potassium (C) and zinc (D) concentrations in wild and domesticated lablab accessions grown under drought (dark gray bars) or control (well-watered; light gray) conditions. Plants were grown in pots for 24 days in a glasshouse before water was withdrawn to initiate drought stress. Bars represent means (n wild = 16, n domesticated = 14) ± standard error of the mean. Significant comparisons found by a TukeyHSD test and their p-values are represented by a bracket.

Hunger remains a prevalent issue worldwide, and with a changing climate, it is expected to become an even greater problem that our food systems are not adapted to. There is therefore a need to investigate strategies to fortify our foods and food systems. Underutilized crops are farmed regionally, are often adapted to stresses, including droughts, a...

... nutrient affected by treatment was nitrogen content, which was taken as an equivalent to protein content, with drought treated wild accessions having the highest leaf protein concentration, and the wild accessions overall having ca. 1% higher leaf protein concentrations ( Figure 2A). Overall, the consumption of wild accessions or breeding domesticated varieties to contain alleles positively affecting these traits could improve people's protein and potassium intake. ...
