But does it taste good? A plea to consider the importance of flavor in managing plant genetic resources

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop genetic resources, particularly seeds held in ex situ germplasm collections, have enormous value in breeding climate‐resilient crops. Much of this value accrues from information associated with germplasm accessions. Here, we argue that flavor, culinary attributes, and other traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) are important characteristics ...

Reflectance spectroscopy predicts leaf functional traits across wine grape cultivars

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Characterizing variability in crop traits is key for understanding agroecosystem responses to environmental change. However, trait data are often time‐consuming to collect and therefore still limit our understanding and predictions of agriculture responses to environmental change.

Plasma‐activated water to foster sustainable agriculture: Evidence and quest for the fundamentals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
An increasing world population facing limited natural resources poses a global challenge to food security. This challenge is increasing due to climate change, which in turn is strongly affected by the food system that accounts, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), for one‐third of the global greenhouse gas emissions.

Help from the past to cope with the future: Vitis sylvestris as a resource for abiotic stress resilience

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Viticulture is facing increasing challenges due to climate change. The focus on fast growth and sweet berries has come at the expense of stress resilience. Grafting onto Phylloxera‐resistant rootstocks from American species has been the most successful form of ecological pest management.
