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).

Unveiling the health‐promoting potential of Sudanese sorghum landraces: A legacy rooted in Eastern Sudan, Kassala, and the Red Sea States

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum is a staple food for hundreds of millions of people in dry regions worldwide, and improving its nutritional quality is vital for global food and health security under climate change. In this study, we evaluated traditional Sudanese sorghum varieties grown in eastern deltas to better understand their natural health‐promoting properties. We found

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Historical remote sensing highlights long‐term persistence of Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) colonies

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Remote sensing can reveal population dynamics of Antarctic penguin colonies. In this study, we analyze emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) guano stains in remote sensing imagery and discover colony presence predating known records for 18 colonies across Antarctica.
