Diverse genetic mechanisms underlie worldwide convergent rice feralization

Genome Biology, 2020
Background Worldwide feralization of crop species into agricultural weeds threatens global food security. Weedy rice is a feral form of rice that infests paddies worldwide and aggressively outcompetes cultivated varieties. Despite increasing attention in

Complementary gene controlling the black hull phenotype and phenolics and flavonoids content in weedy rice (Oryza sativa f. spontanea) from northeastern Thailand [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2019
A complementary gene black seed hull 4 (Bh4 and Phr1) is a hull color candidate gene that causes a black pigmentation in the ripened hulls of rice. The relationship between Bh4 and Phr1 in the black hull phenotype was elucidated previously.

Near‐T2T genome assembly of Erigeron sumatrensis provides insights into polyploid evolution and the herbicidal efficiency of HPPD inhibitors

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
The near‐T2T genome assembly of Erigeron sumatrensis reveals an allohexaploid origin, evolution, and the interaction between the herbicidal target of the HPPD family and mesotrione. Abstract Species of Erigeron, members of the family Asteraceae, have invaded and adapted to agricultural fields and uncultivated habitats worldwide. Erigeron sumatrensis is

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.

Agricultural and environmental drivers of variation in the composition of food crops: A scoping review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural management and environmental conditions influence the biochemical composition of food crops; however, the specific drivers of this variation remain insufficiently understood, despite their importance for climate change adaptation and human health.

A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

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.

Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) in Nigeria: Regional cultivation patterns, landrace diversity, and farmer knowledge for conserving a climate‐resilient indigenous cereal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),

Weedy rice: A threat to rice production in Sri Lanka

Journal of the University of Ruhuna, 2015
Weedy rice (Oryza sativa L. f. spontanea), one of the four most significant weeds, is globally well known as a problem in the rice industry. The economic and environmental problems they pose include those related to rice crop production, milling for commerce, quarantine regulations and seed trade.
