Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Long‐term straw returning is widely promoted to improve soil quality in intensive cropping systems, yet its combined effects with mineral fertilization on soil quality and phosphorus (P) loss risks remain unclear. Using a 16‐year field experiment in a rice–wheat rotation system, we evaluated the impacts of straw returning (S), NPK ...

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.

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.

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

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.

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),

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The surfactin C secreted by JDB15 and the probable parasitism of JDL4 lead to the leakage of intracellular macromolecules and the degradation of hyphae, respectively. Combined application of the two strains effectively controls banana Fusarium wilt under controlled conditions.
