Kew Gardens significantly boosted its living plant collection with over 300 rare wild seeds, the largest addition in a decade.
These seeds, gathered from remote locations in Georgia and Kyrgyzstan, represent a wealth of potential medicinal and conservation benefits.
Scientists will analyze these living plants to discover new compounds with pharmaceutical properties, potentially fighting diseases like cancer.
This expansion ensures the preservation of endangered species and provides future generations with invaluable resources for scientific breakthroughs.
