The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences genebank fills some gaps. I wonder if any of those new accessions are “ opportunity crops.” Because they are sorely needed, for example in Africa. Which is not to say working on staples like maize isn’t cool. Just ask Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra. Working on sweet potato can also be, well, sweet.
