What are the most important challenges for plant science research? Today [18 May] is the first-ever virtual Fascination of Plants Day and researchers from the University of Bristol and The New Phytologist would like to find out from members of the public and academia, farmers, policy makers, funding bodies and industry what issues plant science research should tackle.
The goal of today’s virtual event is to encourage as many people as possible around the world to experience the amazing and important roles plants play in our lives and in nature. Fascination of Plants Day is about showcasing the importance of plant science for agriculture and sustainable production of nutritious foods, as well as understanding the diversity of plants around the world.
