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).

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with striking colours or scents are often considered to have an advantage in the competition for pollinators. However, if pollinators copy others to avoid exploration costs in changing environments, less attractive flowers may benefit from acquiring early ...
