"Is Plant Exploration Dead in a Plant-blind Era?"

Mark your calendar for the next NEBC Meeting on November 2, 2018, at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA with lecture by Dr. Michael Dosmann.

Abstract: : 1-in-5 plant species on Earth is threatened with extinction, and in the US at least, a plant-blind society leaves little hope for improvement. However, plant explorers like the Arnold Arboretum's Michael Dosmann are leading efforts to observe, collect, and preserve species for current and future research.
