Integrating target capture with whole genome sequencing of recent and natural history collections to explain the phylogeography of wild‐growing and cultivated cannabis

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cannabis has been used by humans for millennia, resulting in diverse landraces and uses. Its complex legal status and economic importance make sampling wild‐growing populations difficult, limiting past studies to modern cultivars with low genetic diversity. Our research provides crucial insights into the genetic diversity of wild‐growing and cultivated

Conservation challenges and opportunities for native apple (Malus) species in Canada

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Apple, one of the world's most widely cultivated and economically important fruit crops, has two wild relatives native to Canada. In this review, we describe the importance of these native apple species to Indigenous heritage and the current threats the species faces due to pests, diseases, and habitat loss.

Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Small grassland patches are hotspots for medicinal plants and associated phytochemical diversity in European agricultural landscapes

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Besides being important components of landscape‐level biodiversity, medicinal plants are essential resources for traditional and modern healthcare. However, human‐driven biodiversity loss has resulted in the decline of medicinal plant populations. By maintaining connections between nature, culture, and people, sacred natural sites can help counteract ...

The urgency of genetic decline in New Brunswick butternut, Juglans cinerea L.

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Butternut is yet another North American tree species undergoing rapid mortality due to the globalization of forest pathogens. Pairing tree health surveys and genetic diversity metrics, we captured a 7‐year snapshot of butternut's path to extirpation from its distinct range in New Brunswick, Canada.
