Solar+ citron and lemons #agivoltaics
"Look at the quality of this citron," Lancellotta says, holding a large heart-shaped yellow fruit. "Perfect."
The reason for Lancellotta's security in being able to wait the market? The solar panels over our heads.

In a paper published this week @NaturePlants, we present the main results of seven years studying #MorningGlory taxonomy and evolution: "A taxonomic monograph of Ipomoea integrated across phylogenetic scales". And there is sweet potato too! nature.com/articles/s4147… 🌿🍠⬇️⬇️
This project, led by Robert Scotland at @OxfordPlants, involved researchers from @OregonState, @Cipotato, @DukeU, @TheBotanics and @KewScience, as well as really important collaborators during field work, herbarium curators, other taxonomists, funders... So much help!🙏 
Our aim was to show how powerful evolutionary studies become when they integrate with a good, comprehensive taxonomic study (especially for relatively poorly known groups of tropical plants). This idea was proposed 7 years ago (cell.com/trends/ecology…) and here we show it works.
