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 ...

Reconsidering how to dry orthodox seeds for improved ex situ conservation outcomes
Ex situ seed conservation is an essential tool in our efforts to conserve wild and cultivated plant diversity, as mentioned in the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation and the Sustainable Development Goals. While there are established standards which seed banks follow, it is important that we continue to evaluate protocols and optimize processes ...

Demand for agricultural land has increased due to rising demand for food, potentially leading to expansion into previously untouched habitats, which threatens refugia of native plants. We aimed to provide insight into how variation in seeding ratio may impact soil bacterial communities in a pea‐canola intercropping system, potentially altering crop ...

Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...

Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...
