Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Forgetting cane grasses: Switching temporal focus to reveal mosaics of Saccharum diversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sugarcane (Saccharum cvs.) is one of the most important cash crops globally. Related varieties and species of cane grasses of the genus Saccharum are also important subsistence crops in the Indo‐Pacific region. Despite the significance of these crops globally and recent advances in genetic characterisation, the histories and geographies of ...

Exploring tropical forest aboveground carbon dynamics via modelled landscapes of varied food production, past and present

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Contemporary land use studies often place food production in direct conflict with tropical forests, with forest land use for human needs exiting in conflict with carbon‐related forest conservation and biodiversity protection efforts. We highlight the more nuanced, mixed activities possible in the space between primary forest and fixed, monocultures ...

Genomics and morphometry of herbarium specimens elucidate the origin of the Cape Verde date palm (Phoenix atlantica A.Chev.) and highlight its agronomic potential

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As climate change accelerates, breeding resilient crops is urgent. The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), a crucial 18 billion USD fruit crop, underpins North African and West Asian oasis agroecosystems. This study investigates the genetics and morphology of its closest wild relative, the endemic and endangered Cape Verde date palm (Phoenix atlantica ...
