As the world's human population continues to expand there is a pressing need for plant research to contribute solutions to improving food security in a sustainable and safe way. Plant translational research - the development of basic plant research discoveries into technologies or approaches that improve agriculture - has a vital role to play in meeting these challenges.
The Collection aims to highlight the need for science to meet the challenge of feeding the planet, and invites submission of relevant translational research papers.
