An extinction‐emergency metacollection: Maximising future recovery options for Rhodomyrtus psidioides (Myrtaceae), threatened by Myrtle Rust

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
A challenge for wild plant conservation is the rising incidence of plant pathogens that are difficult to interdict, contain and manage. Invasive, fast‐moving, broad‐spectrum pathogens impose societal costs through losses of intrinsically valuable wild biodiversity, ecosystem function, current and potential genetic and biological assets, culturally ...

Enhance food plant diversity conservation and use through greater coordination between genebanks and botanic gardens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food plants are vital to human and planetary health, but their diversity is threatened, making food security, nutrition, and environmental goals more difficult to achieve. Food plant diversity conservation, research, and education can be enhanced through collaboration between sectors, including genebanks and botanic gardens, which possess complementary

Strong differentiation between source and ex situ populations of rare plant species revealed by next‐generation sequencing

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is being lost rapidly worldwide due to factors such as climate change and habitat loss. To help safeguard plant populations, conservation strategies include seed banks and conservation cultures. However, it remains unclear how cultivation affects genetic variation compared with wild populations.

Food plant diversity in a rapidly changing world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Diversity in food plants is essential to human and planetary health. On farms, in diets, and in many other areas of food systems, this diversity has undergone enormous change globally, including significant decline. We describe major trends in how food plant diversity has been changing, note the responses from conservation communities, highlight gaps ...

WorldCuP: A database of checklists documenting the World's Cultivated Plants and their distributions

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Human life would be unrecognizable without the benefits of cultivated plants, including crops, ornamentals, or plants with other uses. Despite their importance in daily life and prevalence across landscapes, we know surprisingly little about global cultivated plant distributions.

Crop landrace conservation, status, challenges and motivations in Great Britain

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Recent agricultural intensification has led to the widespread replacement of genetically diverse crop landraces with high‐yielding but genetically uniform modern cultivars, reducing the adaptive resilience of farming systems. In the United Kingdom, where large‐scale agriculture dominates, landraces require urgent conservation action.
