Building capacity in vector‐borne plant virus research: The CONNECTED Network

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant viruses spread by insects decimate crop yields globally, causing food security challenges in vulnerable areas, including regions of Africa. Interdisciplinary research is needed to protect future crop supplies. CONNECTED, the Community Network for African Vector‐Borne Plant Viruses, increased research capacity in Central, East, West and Southern ...

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).

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Social Sustainability in Circular Bioeconomy Business Models: Insights From Argentina

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on circular bioeconomy business models (CBEBM) has largely prioritised environmental and economic aspects, leaving out the social pillar. To address this gap, this paper analyses to what extent and in what ways social sustainability is integrated into CBEBM, based on 12 cases from northern Argentina, a region with high potential for ...

Structural aspects of dormancy in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa): Importance and possible action mechanisms of the seed coats [PDF]

, 2015
Two possible sources of resistance to pre-harvest sprouting were evaluated in quinoa. They showed dormancy at harvest and significant variations in dormancy level in response to environmental conditions experienced during seed development.

Quality assessments of untreated and washed quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) seeds based on histlogical and foaming capacity investigations

, 2010
Quinoa seed has a high nutritional value, but has a coating of bitter-tasting saponins, making it unpalatable. Therefore the seeds are usually processed in order to remove the naturally occurring saponins from the seeds.
