PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.It remains unclear how many plant species are not yet recorded by science. We illustrated the process by which species of the pineapple family in tropical America have been newly described to science to date, and we estimated how many species may still await scientific discovery in this group.

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.

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.

Climate‐smart land management: Greenhouse gas outcomes and social and economic pathways to adoption
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.
