Orphan legume crops enter the genomics era! [PDF]

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2009
Many of the world's most important food legumes are grown in arid and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia, where crop productivity is hampered by biotic and abiotic stresses. Until recently, these crops have also suffered from a dearth of genomic and molecular-genetic resources and thus were 'orphans' of the genome revolution.

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).

Accelerating orphan crop innovation through genomic breakthroughs for climate-resilient and sustainable food systems

Discover Food
Orphan crops, underutilized species with regional or local importance, are increasingly recognized for their potential to enhance global food and nutrition security, particularly under climate stress and resource limitations. These crops, often resilient

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

Plant responses to iron nutrition with emphasis on the underutilized crop tef (Eragrostis tef): A review

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.

Support agroecological transitions for orphan crops

, 2023
Dans un contexte de changement climatique et de crise alimentaire, l’agroécologie est présentée commeune voie prometteuse pour faire face aux enjeux environnementaux, alimentaires et sanitaires. Lespratiques agroécologiques, permettant d’accompagner les transitions agroécologiques, sont raisonnéeset dépendent du contexte dans lesquelles elles entrent ...

An evidenced-based, farmer-focused revival of traditional cereals

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Revival of agrobiodiversity is a lynchpin for climate resilience, improved human nutrition, local economies, and cultural diversity. Following decades of decline in traditional cereals, the highest policy levels in India are promoting their revival.

Leveraging the Potential of Public Food Procurement to Achieve Multiple Food System Outcomes: Insights From a Policy Analysis in Australia

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Government food procurement investment offers significant potential to advance health and sustainability goals; yet, integrating these dimensions into policy design has proved challenging. We mapped and analysed 38 food procurement and catering‐specific policies in Australia to identify ways to strengthen policy design: 20 governing ...
