Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

Oikos, EarlyView.In the wild, individuals consistently differ in movement and space use behaviours, depending on their personality. This variation can lead to personality–habitat associations and spatial structuring, potentially generating individual niche segregation.

A framework linking silicon fertilisation, plant silicification and soil carbon cycling
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, food security, and climate change mitigation. We reviewed how silicon (Si) fertilisers, commonly used to improve plant health, may also influence SOC dynamics. We developed a framework linking Si and SOC and discussed the possibility of Si‐mediated plant changes contributing to SOC sequestration.

High-Throughput Screen of NPQ in Sorghum Shows Highly Polygenic Architecture of Photoprotection. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Natural genetic variation in photosynthesis and photoprotection within crop germplasm represents an untapped resource for crop improvement. Sorghum bicolor (sorghum) is one of the world's most widely grown crops, yet the genetic basis of photoprotection in sorghum is not well understood.

Market access of small-scale farms and biodiversity management of food crops. The case of sorghum and pearl millet in Mali [PDF]
, 2011 Several studies carried out in different countries (and various ecosystems) show that varietal diversity has generally reduced with the integration of farms into markets.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Bread wheat is an important crop that supplies calories and nutrients to the global population. Enhancing the concentrations and bioavailability of essential micronutrients in wheat is crucial for human nutrition, and we investigated whether arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can contribute to the biofortification of wheat.

Assessment of Striga resistance in wild relatives of sorghum under field conditions [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2018 The witch-weeds (Striga spp.) are destructive root parasites of many crops. They result in considerable crop damage, especially in the semiarid tropic parts of the world. The parasite control is difficult due to the complexity of the parasite life cycle,
