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.

Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...

Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

Ethnobotanical and genetic assessments of Central American avocado landraces reveal novel sources of biodiversity and ancient migration patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Avocados are a multibillion‐dollar global commodity, but their growing export market pressures local farmers to abandon local fruit tree diversity in favor of commercial cultivar production. Interviews with rural avocado farmers and households from the Southern Mexican Highlands, Pacific Coastal Honduras, and Western Nicaragua, as well as the genetic ...

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 ...
