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 ...

What do we see when we look through the “anthromes lens”?

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The environmental impacts of anthropogenic activities are planetary in scale. The study of human‐environment relations now involves global datasets about social factors. We discuss one of such datasets organized around land use categories called “anthromes”. These categories are used for mapping the terrestrial biosphere throughout history according to

Unfortunately, many traditional pea varieties are lost, and those saved are often kept in seed banks or used only by small‐scale growers.

Harnessing synergies between botany education research and ethnobotany to improve understanding of plant awareness

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Strengthening the relationships between humans and plants can restore people's experience of nature and ultimately counteract the widespread loss of biodiversity. In this opinion article, we argue that much potential for understanding and increasing human–plant relationships lies untapped, because of a lack of cross‐fertilisation between two ...
