Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

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.
