title: Exploration and practice of botanical gardens in the collection, conservation, and development of plant resources: A case study of Nanjing Botanical Garden Mem. Sun Yat‐sen
abstract: In addition to providing basic human needs, such as food, medicine, and fuel, plants play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, regulating the climate, and supporting the biodiversity. Strengthening the conservation and sustainable utilization of global plant resources is therefore essential for ecologically development, especially in the face of exacerbating climate change. In this context, botanical gardens play an irreplaceable role in plant conservation and resource utilization.
