Extended Data Fig. 5: Prevalence of inadequate B-vitamin intake (%) and percentages of B-vitamin-source species that are not conserved ex situ, per country.
From: Global plant diversity as a reservoir of micronutrients for humanity
Inadequate B-vitamin intake is represented by the Prevalence of Inadequate Micronutrient Intake Index1. Light grey represents missing inadequate-intake data or no B-vitamin-source species; blue, low inadequate intake and a low percentage of source species not conserved ex situ; dark grey, low inadequate intake and a high percentage of source species not conserved ex situ; red, high inadequate intake and a low percentage of source species not conserved ex situ; and black, high inadequate intake and high percentage of source species not conserved ex situ. Black countries are those that should prioritise most ex-situ edible plant conservation. Species “not conserved ex situ” refers to those absent from Genesys34 and the Millennium Seed Bank Partnership databases33. The axes labels on the legend in Extended Data Fig. 5a apply to the other subplots. The numerical ranges for each colour (indicated in the legends) were generated using Fisher natural breaks classification method76 and differ for each subplot for improved visualisation.
