@ssukno can only recommend, it‘s incredibly touching. My favorite story line the one from the neglected female scientist who discovered plant volatiles…

[Dirk Balmer @dirkbalmer]

you are into #plantscience or love plants and trees? If there is one must read that takes it all, this it… just finished this this and I‘m blown away 🌳🌿🌾

[Darwin Tree of Life Project @darwintreelife]

👀 Worth a read: @PNASNews looks at the huge leaps forward in plans to #genome sequence life on Earth, while also drawing attention to the remaining gaps in this endeavour that need plugging - both in taxonomic and geographical terms
