Extended Data Fig. 8: Geographic hotspots for further collection for the ex situ conservation of crop landrace groups of starchy root, tuber, and fruit crops.
From: State of ex situ conservation of landrace groups of 25 major crops
Geographic hotspots for further collection for the ex situ conservation of crop landrace groups of starchy root, tuber, and fruit crops. The map displays ‘gap richness’ across the predicted distributions of landrace groups of 7 starchy root, tuber, and fruit crops within their geographic regions of diversity, indicating where landrace groups are expected to occur and have not yet been collected and conserved in genebanks. Darker colors indicate greater numbers of un-collected starchy root, tuber, and fruit crop landrace groups potentially overlapping in the same 2.5 arc-minute cells, quantified in terms of numbers of crops.
