dc.description.abstract | The UK Plant Science Federation was established at the end of 2011. This article
explores the significance of this venture through a lens based on the history of plant
genetics throughout the 20th century. We illustrate the advantages and difficulties in
building and maintaining collaborative links between researchers working with crops
and model species and the significance of such collaborations for the future of plant
science in the UK and further afield. In particular, we explore how the success and
failures in the plant molecular genetics and genomics sector can help inform the
activities of the UKPSF and, conversely, how the UKPSF can help unite the many and
various plant science spheres in the UK in order to tackle current global challenges. | en_GB |
