Extended Data Fig. 5: Geographic hotspots for further collection for the ex situ conservation of crop landrace groups.
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. The map displays ‘gap richness’ across the predicted worldwide distributions of 71 landrace groups of 25 cereal, pulse, and starchy root/tuber/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 crop landrace groups potentially overlapping in the same 2.5 arc-minute cells.
