These studies combine classical botanical methods, including morphology and anatomy, with molecular techniques. Advancing our understanding of plant development across diverse plant species requires a focus beyond model species, helping us to address more pressing issues such as environmental changes and food security. In this respect, botanical gardens, urban oases that house collections of plants with diverse ecological, evolutionary, and morphological characteristics, offer an ideal research environment and are essential research centers with the capacity to lead plant science toward diversity-driven research.PMID:43003707 | DOI:10.1016/j.tplants.2026.10.004
