PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Plant hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important evolutionary process, and a deeper understanding of hybridization is necessary for its application to agriculture, conservation, and ecological solutions. Here, we assess correlates of hybridization in the megadiverse and societally important family Asteraceae and how and where hybrids have

When alien plants become health hazards: An applied study on toxic and allergenic risks in Italy
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Alien plants are often studied for their ecological harm, but their risks to human and animal health remain poorly documented. This study provides the first comprehensive catalogue of poisonous and allergenic alien plants in Italy, identifying which species are dangerous, where they grow and who is most at risk—from children in city parks to pets and ...

The Genetic Legacy of Cretan Landrace Grapevines and Their Relationship to the Southern Levant
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Grapes are more than an agricultural crop; they are a vital part of human history, economy, and culture. Yet the origins of many traditional varieties remain unclear. By studying the genetics of Cretan grapes, we discovered that they are a “genetic mosaic”—combining local lineages with those from the Southern Levant and Eastern Europe.

Exotic naturalized flora of continental Portugal – A reassessment [PDF]
, 2006 Six years after our last study on the exotic naturalized flora of continental Portugal, we present a reassessment. In 1999, we have considered the existence of 500 exotic species of vascular plants (invasive or more or less naturalized).
