Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Comparative Evaluation of Soda and Nitrate‐Alkaline Pulping of Hemp, Flax, and Sisal Post‐harvest Biomass

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2026.
The study compares hemp, flax, and sisal as nonwood raw materials for pulp production using soda and nitrate‐alkaline cooking. It evaluates chemical composition, cellulose crystallinity, yield, delignification, and paper strength. Sisal showed the highest tensile performance, while the choice of cooking method significantly influenced the quality and ...
