A Conservation Assessment and Phylogenomic Evaluation of Protection Status in the Tropical Genus Heliconia L. (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The primarily neotropical plant genus Heliconia has been cultivated commercially in gardens and nurseries for hundreds of years. Many of these same species are ecological keystones in their native habitats as important resources for herbivorous insects and pollinating hummingbirds, yet they face threats of habitat loss and degradation, competition with

Phylogenomic insights into the origin of the Norton grape

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Challenges in viticulture such as disease resistance have renewed interest in underutilized cultivars. The Norton grape, one of the earliest popular North American grape cultivars, holds the potential to produce exceptional wine while being resistant to pests and disease. Yet, the ancestry of the Norton grape is controversial.
