Genomic architecture and breeding trade‐offs of coconut drought tolerance
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The coconut palm is an extremely popular and economically important crop, with around 65 million tonnes produced in 2023. Although Africa's coconut sector is growing rapidly, it—and the livelihoods that depend on it—is threatened by climate change, particularly increased drought.

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

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 ...

Evolution of photoperiod insensitivity drove the westward expansion of broomcorn millet
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This research highlights how ancient farming communities adapted crops to challenging environments, enabling the spread of agriculture across Eurasia. By demonstrating that broomcorn millet evolved reduced sensitivity to day‐length, the study explains how this crop could support food production in regions with short growing seasons and long summer days.

SNP Markers and Evaluation of Duplicate Holdings of Brassica oleracea in Two European Genebanks
Plants, 2020 Around the world, there are more than 1500 genebanks storing plant genetic resources to be used in breeding and research. Such resources are essential for future food security, but many genebanks experience backlogs in their conservation work, often ...
