Resilience through diversity: The potential of modelling species and variety interactions to enhance resilience of production systems

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural production systems in the global North combine monocultures of specialised varieties and breeds with external interventions and inputs. Increasing the diversity of varieties, breeds and species may increase the system's resilience to external pressures through beneficial interactions.

Stress Increases Ecological Risk of Glufosinate-Resistant Transgene Located on Alien Chromosomes in Hybrids Between Transgenic Brassica napus and Wild Brassica juncea

open access: yesPlants
When glufosinate-resistant transgenic Brassica napus (transgene PAT located on C chromosome) were backcrossed with wild Brassica juncea, 50% of the progeny expressed PAT under favourable conditions.

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

A pipeline to compile expert‐verified datasets of digitised herbarium specimens for automated plant identification to accelerate taxonomy

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding and protecting plant life is essential for tackling the twin challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change. To support this, we have developed a new digital approach that helps identify plant species more quickly and accurately.
