A study on baobab trees has shed light on their origin and evolution, according to the Wuhan Botanical Garden (WBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
The baobab tree, an iconic species in Madagascar, can live more than 2,000 years and provide food, water and shelter for local communities. The species holds significant cultural, economic and ecological importance.
The study, led by the WBG and the Sino-Africa Joint Research Center, was published in the journal Nature on Wednesday.
In the study, scientists performed a series of genomic analyses on the whole genome sequence of all extant eight baobab species to reveal the origin and evolutionary history of the lineage of baobab trees.

I'm glad Chinese scientists are working with scientists in some African nations to foster best practices of water & other resource management. As areas develop the lessons learned by China can help mitigate at least some of the harmful effects of industrial revolution. Consciousness needs to expand along with material prosperity.
