Terroir and rootstock effects on leaf shape in California Central Valley vineyards
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 1110-1122, July 2025.The innumerable effects of terroir—including climate, soil, microbial environment, biotic interactions, and cultivation practice—collectively alter plant performance and production. A more direct agricultural intervention is grafting, in which genetically distinct shoot and root genotypes are surgically combined to create a chimera that alters shoot ...

Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 562-589, May 2025.Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 850-860, May 2025.To understand why certain plants have been domesticated into crops, we need to recognize that the environmental conditions plants experience in wild populations are totally different from those of agricultural fields. In this study, we investigated whether the characteristics that promote growth and survival in these different environments may have ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 371-389, February 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants use physical barriers and chemical compounds to defend themselves against natural enemies. For instance, tough leaves are considered to be better defended than soft leaves, part of a spectrum of defences defined by functional traits such as leaf chemistry ...

Human management of ongoing evolutionary processes in agroecosystems
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1190-1206, November 2024.Agricultural sustainability depends on the adaptation of crops to their local environment. Smallholder farmers who save seed provide an essential “evosystem” service by growing locally adapted seed varieties that can recruit biodiversity to enhance their growth and defense. While professional plant breeding has diverted evolutionary processes away from

Chía and its wild relatives: A superfood Salvia (Lamiaceae)
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1284-1292, November 2024.Alternative crops are a promising approach to address the global food shortage that is exacerbated by climate change and wealth disparities. Some of these alternative crops are traditional food plants that have been widely traded for centuries, whereas others have only recently become more popular.
