The epigenetic landscape of plant defense: Unlocking nature's toolkit for new plant protection

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review examines how epigenetic mechanisms regulate plant immune gene activation, repression, and priming, then links these natural regulatory layers to emerging epigenetic editing, discussing their potential for precise, heritable crop protection and the challenges.

Screening for agronomic and biochemical traits in a lentil germplasm collection.

, 1998
A lentil collection (232 accessions) from 15 countries has been characterised. Phenotypic and genotypic variation of agronomic and biochemical traits have been studied. The collection has resulted polymorphic for several traits.

Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Plants back: Re‐envisioning botanical garden collections management for indigenous crops

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Botanical gardens and other ex situ collections play a key role in preventing plant extinctions, yet the needs of Indigenous crop cultivars are not being met by conventional botanical collections management practices. Inspired by Indigenous land care restoration movements centering plant–human–society relationships, we propose a path toward reciprocal ...

Plant responses to iron nutrition with emphasis on the underutilized crop tef (Eragrostis tef): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron (Fe) deficiency limits the physical health, cognitive development, and economic output of billions of people globally, especially children and productive‐age women. Tef is an underutilized and stress‐resilient crop, which is becoming popular for its grains containing high bioavailable Fe and has the potential to mitigate Fe deficiency.
