Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Challenges and limitations of introducing pigeonpea as a new crop into smallholder farming systems through farmer‐to‐farmer education in Zambia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Legume plants offer generous benefits for both the planet and people by supporting sustainable farming, food and feed systems through their ability to symbiotically fix atmospheric nitrogen. While grain legumes are cultivated and consumed globally, their adoption, market development, and integration into cropping systems vary.

Using ecoinformatics to evaluate the impact of crop and herbicide rotations on herbicide intensity

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Maize fields with cotton in rotation receive lower herbicide application than fields without cotton. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop rotation is a central component of integrated weed management (IWM) under real‐world conditions, yet its impact on herbicide use remains unclear. To address this challenge, we developed an ecoinformatics‐driven analysis approach

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

High‐quality genome of elite peanut cultivar ZH05 reveals subgenome asymmetry, pan‐genome diversity, and breeding insights

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A high‐quality reference genome for the elite peanut cultivar Zhonghua No. 5 revealed differing evolutionary paths between the two peanut subgenomes. SubA has higher overall gene expression and more open chromatin, whereas SubB has stronger structural organization, higher DNA methylation, and greater adaptive diversity associated with peanut evolution ...

Exploitation of trispecific hybrids to introgress the glandless seed and glanded plant trait of Gossypium sturtianum Willis into G. hirsutum L. [PDF]

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 1997
Two différent trispecific hybrids were developed in order to introgress the "glandless seed-glanded plant" trait of Gossypium sturtianum Will. (2n = 2x = 26, CI genome) into the main cultivated cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum L., 2n = 4x = 52, (AD ...
