Introducing RECROP COST action
In response to the escalating threat of climate change and its detrimental impact on plants' productivity and thus on global food security, a new Action called RECROP (Reproductive Enhancement of CROP resilience to extreme climate CA22157) has emerged, supported by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST). Comprising an exceptional consortium of agronomists, physiologists, geneticists, biologists and bioinformaticians from academia, private sector, public institutions and other relevant organisations. RECROP sets out to support and transform current efforts for improving crop resilience through innovative and holistic approaches. This collaborative effort aims to unlock the secrets of crop sensitivity to environmental stresses during plant reproduction and design solutions to enhance crop yields in a sustainable manner.

The role of spermidine in plants and humans
The role of spermidine in plants and humans: a
pathway from climate change adaptation to health
benefits
Abstract
Growing demands for healthier diets are driving agricultural and food scientists to develop climate
-
resilient crops and food systems that ensure nutritionally effective food. Beyond providing basic
energy requirements, nutrients may actively influence human physiology and health. One such
molecule, spermidine, a polyamine abundant in wheat and soybean, has attracted particular
interest. From the aspect of human health, spermidine is mainly studied for healthy ageing
properties and has been associated with cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and anti
-cancerogenic
effects. On the other hand, being present in all plants, spermidine is essential for growth,
development, and stress adaptation.
Endogenousl
y or when exogenously applied, spermidine can
help plants adapt to harsh climate change conditions. Bringing together current knowledge on the
significance of spermidine in both plants and humans, this review aims to trace its journey From
Farm to Pharm, highlighting its importance for sustainable crop production, improved nutrition,
and emerging pharmacological applications.
