PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Our study tests how soil and plant biodiversity can enhance sustainability of crop production in Kenya. We tested whether mixtures of maize varieties performed better than monocultures and tested their response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal responsiveness differed significantly by maize variety, and genetic mixtures outperformed ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Long non-coding RNAs of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) in multiple dehydration stresses
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in plant growth and stress responses. Studies of lncRNAs in non-model plants are quite limited, especially those investigating multiple dehydration stresses.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Iron (Fe) deficiency limits the physical health, cognitive development, and economic output of billions of people globally, especially children and productive‐age women. Tef is an underutilized and stress‐resilient crop, which is becoming popular for its grains containing high bioavailable Fe and has the potential to mitigate Fe deficiency.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...

Response of soil bacteria community to experiment warming in three agroecosystems of the Tibet
Global Ecology and ConservationStudies on the response of soil bacterial communities to climate warming in croplands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are currently insufficient. In April 2016, a field experiment incorporating two factors (warming and crop types) was initiated in the Tibet.
