Sommario/riassunto

This book introduces the seed bank of the Seed Ark of Wild Plants in Southwest China from a professional perspective, which is one of the China Big Science Facilities. It aims to promote the protection, development, and utilization of various wild plant seed resources preserved in the "Ark of Seeds". As science and technology keep progressing, maybe one day, we may take the little lives sleeping in the “Ark of Seeds” to start a splendid journey to the universe, and they will recreate the green forests and grasslands in some suitable planet, and create a new legend in that new planet.
