“…Contrary to what was expected by Reutemann et al. (2023), self‐maters show high morphological variation within populations, compared to outcrossers, while high morphological variation within populations leads to low differentiation among populations (Reutemann et al., 2023). This might be attributed to low meiotic recombination in Paspalum selfers since they are believed to be apomictic, a trait of great importance in breeding of clonal seeds (Ortiz et al., 2013).…”

“…Of outstanding relevance is the work of Verena Reutemann and Eric J. Martínez at Universidad Nacional del Nordeste in Argentina (see Table 1). They have characterized gene flow in diploid (2 n = 2 x = 20) species of tropical Paspalum grass that may either outcross or self‐mate (Reutemann et al., 2023). These are agriculturally important turfgrasses highly tolerant to salinity and drought (Wu et al., 2020).…”

Food production and food security depend on the ability of crops to cope with anthropogenic climate change and successfully produce seed. To guarantee food production well into the future, contemporary plant scientists in Latin America must carry out research on how plants respond to environmental stressors such as temperature, drought, and salinity. This review shows the opportunities to apply these results locally and abroad and points to the gaps that still exist in terms of reproductive processes with the purpose to better link research with translational work in plant breeding and biotechnology. Suggestions are put forth to address these gaps creatively in the face of chronic low investment in science with a focus on applicability.
