Matches and mismatches between the global distribution of major food crops and climate suitability.
Over the course of history, humans have moved crops from their regions of origin to new locations across the world. The social, cultural and economic drivers of these movements have generated differences not only between current distributions of crops and their climatic origins, but also between crop distributions and climate...Mahaut, Lucie ; Pironon, Samuel ; Barnagaud, Jean-Yves ; Bretagnolle, François ; Khoury, Colin K. …

Genomic insights into rapid speciation within the world’s largest tree genus Syzygium.
Species radiations, despite immense phenotypic variation, can be difficult to resolve phylogenetically when genetic change poorly matches the rapidity of diversification. Genomic potential furnished by palaeopolyploidy, and relative roles for adaptation, random drift and hybridisation in the apportionment of genetic variation, remain poorly understood factors. Here, we study these aspects...Low, Yee Wen ; Rajaraman, Sitaram ; Tomlin, Crystal M. ; Ahmad, Joffre Ali ; Ardi, Wisnu H. …

Reconnecting the Cinchona (Rubiaceae) collections of the “Real Expedición Botánica al Virreinato del Perú” (1777-1816).
During the “Real Expedición Botánica al Virreinato del Perú”, 1777-1816, Hipólito Ruiz López (1754-1816), José Antonio Pavón Jiménez (1754-1840), Juan José Tafalla Navascués (1755-1811) and Juan Agustín Manzanilla (fl. 1793-1816) collected economically important specimens of anti-malarial cinchona bark (Cinchona spp.). In the 230 years since, these specimens have been dispersed...Walker, Kim ; García Guillén, Esther ; Allasi Canales, Nataly ; Medina, Leopoldo ; Driver, Felix …

Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems and Biocultural Heritage: Addressing Indigenous Priorities Using Decolonial and Interdisciplinary Research Approaches.
The food systems and territories of Indigenous Peoples sustain much of the world’s biodiversity, cultivated and wild, through agroecological practices rooted in Indigenous cosmovision and cultural and spiritual values. These food systems have a critical role to play in sustainability transformations but are widely threatened and have received limited research...Swiderska, Krystyna ; Argumedo, Alejandro ; Wekesa, Chemuku ; Ndalilo, Leila ; Song, Yiching …

Repeat dynamics across timescales: a perspective from sibling allotetraploid marsh orchids (Dactylorhiza majalis s.l.).
To provide insights into the fate of transposable elements (TEs) across timescales in a post-polyploidization context, we comparatively investigate five sibling Dactylorhiza allotetraploids (Orchidaceae) formed independently and sequentially between 500 and 100K generations ago by unidirectional hybridisation between diploids D. fuchsii and D. incarnata. Our results first reveal that the...Eriksson, Mimmi C. ; Mandáková, Terezie ; McCann, Jamie ; Temsch, Eva M. ; Chase, Mark W …

Phylogeography and conservation gaps of Musa balbisiana Colla genetic diversity revealed by microsatellite markers.
Collection and storage of crop wild relative (CWR) germplasm is crucial for preserving species genetic diversity and crop improvement. Nevertheless, much of the genetic variation of CWRs is absent in ex situ collections and detailed passport data are often lacking. Here, we focussed on one of the two main progenitor...Mertens, Arne ; Bawin, Yves ; Vanden Abeele, Samuel ; Kallow, Simon ; Swennen, Rony …
