An In Vitro–Ex Vitro Micropropagation System for Hemp. Hope it doesn’t drive down diversity, man. The genomes of ancient date palms germinated from 2,000 y old seeds. Interesting, sure, but let’s not call it “resurrection genomics,” shall we? Interpreting Diachronic Size Variation in Prehistoric Central Asian Cereal Grains. Parallel increases in size among different lineages …

Projected temperature increases may require shifts in the growing season of cool-season crops and the growing locations of warm-season crops. In California’s Mediterranean climate, cool season crops will have to shift in time, and warm-season crops in place. A “Mega Population” of the Wild Potato Species Solanum fendleri. Large population, safe, accessible and very diverse. …
