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).

Early consequences of allopolyploidy alter floral evolution in Nicotiana (Solanaceae)
BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background Polyploidy has played a major role in angiosperm evolution. Previous studies have examined polyploid phenotypes in comparison to their extant progenitors, but not in context of predicted progenitor phenotypes at allopolyploid origin.

Plant Diversity, 2022 Polyploids contribute substantially to plant evolution and biodiversity; however, the mechanisms by which they succeed are still unclear. According to the polyploid adaptation hypothesis, successful polyploids spread by repeated adaptive responses to new

polymapR—linkage analysis and genetic map construction from F1 populations of outcrossing polyploids
bioRxiv, 2017 Motivation Polyploid species carry more than two copies of each chromosome, a condition found in many of the world’s most important crops. Genetic mapping in polyploids is more complex than in diploid species, resulting in a lack of available software ...

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Plants back: Re‐envisioning botanical garden collections management for indigenous crops
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Botanical gardens and other ex situ collections play a key role in preventing plant extinctions, yet the needs of Indigenous crop cultivars are not being met by conventional botanical collections management practices. Inspired by Indigenous land care restoration movements centering plant–human–society relationships, we propose a path toward reciprocal ...

Origins of novel phenotypic variation in polyploids
, 2012 Polyploid species represent a special type of organism in nature, one that can survive and compete with three or more full sets of homologous chromosomes.

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...
