The most threatened plants receive the least scientific attention
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Plants sustain all life, providing the energetic and structural basis of ecosystems, but they face a growing risk of extinction. Reversing this decline requires an understanding of how scientific knowledge is distributed among species, and identification of the biases and gaps that hinder effective responses to the threats they face. However, we reveal

Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.
