We have not been able to capture well the nexus between molecular and ecophysiological understanding and concepts
This article from Chief Investigators Brad Sherman and Robert Henry, explores some of the challenges to existing legal schemes developed to regulate plant genetic resources and the need for compromise when developing policy. Over time, a complex web of international legal agreements has been developed that regulate the access, transfer, and use of plant genetic resources. In doing so, policy
