Several fungi had distributions extending into central and northern parts of the continent, illustrating their tolerance of an extraordinarily wide range of environmental conditions.
New study identifies hybridisation and backcrossing events to have led to the modern sugarcane cultivars.
More efficient sampling could capture greater diversity without overwhelming space constraints.
For International Women’s Day 2017, we asked plant biologist Dr Zoë Popper to write about a typical day in her working life. Here, she reflects on the importance of diversity in her job.
