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.

Nutritional quality of photosynthetically diverse crops under future climates
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1272-1283, November 2024.Climate change continues to intensify the challenges of food production as agricultural systems face more variable and extreme weather. Coupled with increasing human population, growers must balance increasing crop yields with nutrient content to prevent global malnutrition. Photosynthetic diversity may permit some crops to shrug off climate change and

Sequencing vs. amplification for the estimation of allele dosages in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.)
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 12, Issue 5, September-October 2024.Abstract Premise Detecting single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a cost‐effective way is fundamental in any plant breeding pipeline. Here, we compare three genotyping techniques for their ability to reproduce the allele dosage of SNPs of interest in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.).
