Synthetic microbial communities for engineering climate‐smart biofertilizers

iMeta, EarlyView.
Global agricultural productivity is increasingly destabilized by climate change—driven droughts, floods, extreme heat, and severe storms. Although the climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) framework addresses these challenges, implementation has focused mainly on plant genetics and agronomic inputs, leaving the adaptive potential of the crop microbiome ...

Transcriptomic stress responses in Vaccinium spp. F1 hybrids: Implications for temperature‐resilient cranberry breeding using a crop wild relative

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate extremes threaten the sustainability of cranberry production, a culturally and economically important North American crop. This study demonstrates that wild cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) harbor genetic variation that may enhance cold stress resilience when introduced into cultivated cranberry through hybridization.

Frosty pod of cacao: a disease with a limited geographic range but unlimited potential for damage

, 2007
Moniliophthora roreri, the cause of frosty pod rot (FP), is a specialized fungal pathogen (family Marasmiaceae) that invades only actively growing pods of cacao, Theobroma cacao, and related species of Theobroma and Herrania.

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Bridging Human and Plant Adaptations for Climate Resilience

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is transforming agriculture through both gradual shifts and increasingly unpredictable extremes, challenging farmers' ability to protect crops and livelihoods. This study brings together farmer experiences and plant adaptation strategies to explore how people and plants respond to similar climate pressures.
