Botanical Monography in the Anthropocene
Botanical monographs have been the gold standard for communicating comprehensive systematic information about plants for over 300 years. Monographs catalyse species discovery, biodiversity documentation and conservation, and facilitate downstream research on wild and cultivated plant species. Increased availability of DNA sequence data and digitised resources now provide powerful resources for...Grace, Olwen M. ; Pérez-Escobar, Oscar A. ; Lucas, Eve J. ; Vorontsova, Maria S. ; Lewis, Gwilym P. …

World Flora Online: Placing taxonomists at the heart of a definitive and comprehensive global resource on the world's plants
It is time to synthesize the knowledge that has been generated through more than 260 years of botanical exploration, taxonomic and, more recently, phylogenetic research throughout the world. The adoption of an updated Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) in 2011 provided the essential impetus for the development of the World... -

Plant and fungal collections: Current status, future perspectives.
Societal Impact Statement Plant and fungal specimens provide the auditable evidence that a particular organism occurred at a particular place, and at a particular point in time, verifying past occurrence and distribution. They also document the aspects of human exploration and culture. Collectively specimens form a global asset with significant... -

Micronutrient composition and microbial community analysis across diverse landraces of the Ethiopian orphan crop enset
Enset (Ensete ventricosum) is a major starch staple and food security crop for 20 million people. Despite substantial diversity in morphology, genetics, agronomy and utilization across its range, nutritional characteristics have only been reported in relatively few landraces. Here, we survey nutritional composition in 22 landraces from three enset growing...Tamrat, Solomon ; Borrell, James S. ; Biswas, Manosh K. ; Gashu, Dawd ; Wondimu, Tigist …

Enset‐based agricultural systems in Ethiopia: A systematic review of production trends, agronomy, processing and the wider food security applications of a neglected banana relative
Enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is the major starch staple of the Ethiopian Highlands, where its unique attributes enhance the food security of approximately 20 million people and have earned it the title “The Tree Against Hunger”. Yet enset‐based agriculture is virtually unknown outside of its narrow zone of cultivation,...
