Excited to share our review is on the Cover of @cp-trendsplantsci.bsky.social (Vol 30, Issue 10)🤩🎉😍

👉 #Panomics to manage combined #abiotic stresses in plants

🔗 www.cell.com/trends/plant...

Congratulations to all authors @agbioworld.bsky.social👏

@plantteaching.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social
In this work, together with my wonderful co-authors (Yiran Li, Channapatna Prakash, and Zhangli Hu), we discuss how climate change-driven combined abiotic stresses threaten global crop productivity, and how panomics, AI-driven breeding, single-cell omics, and advanced phenotyping can guide the way for stress-smart crops of the future🌱 🔑 𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨: Panomics + AI = unlocking novel molecular targets & pathways Field-level validation + spatial/single-cell omics for real-world solutions Synthetic biology and epigenome editing as next-gen breeding strategies Crop wild relatives as hidden reservoirs of resilience Designing "genetic circuits" and "full-gene packages" for enhanced tolerance Ultimately, we propose panomics as a “social insurance” for crops, equipping them to withstand real-world stress combinations and secure sustainable agriculture in a changing climate 🌍✨

New in 'Functional & Integrative Genomics': Researchers identify the MATE transporter CaDTX12 as a key driver of cadmium buildup in pepper. The findings offer valuable targets for breeding low-Cd pepper varieties and improving food safety. bit.ly/3LP4NEZ @aliraza6.bsky.social #PlantScience

#COP30 ends without action on #foodsystems

1. Industrial #agriculture’s fossil fuel dependency unaddressed
2. No roadmap for tackling #commodity-driven deforestation
3. Brazil showed real food system solutions
4. @ipes-food.org urges govt to transform food systems

COP30 ends without action on food systems - IPES-Food
COP30 ended without action on food systems, ignoring major climate emissions and deforestation drivers. IPES-Food warns this failure heightens climate and hunger risks.

We are delighted to announce Thomas Reviews, a new format for impact at the intersection of plants, people and the planet.

The three inaugural Reviews have been published in Plants, People, Planet today!

Read the Editorial 👇

#PlantScience #ThomasReview
A round logo in the style of a rubber stamp, incorporating the text 'Thomas Reviews' and a motif consisting of an open book, a pair of rounded spectacles and the stylised panicle of a grass or cereal crop. In the background is an photo of some leaves that have turned orange. Text reads: Presenting Thomas Reviews: authoritative and accessible reviews on topics at the intersection of plants, people, and the planet. Explore the collection in Plants, People, Planet.
