Abstract

Abstract:

Reflecting on the recent Shenzhen Declaration on Plant Sciences at XIX International Botanical Congress, we discuss connections between the Earth BioGenome Project (ESP) and Taxonomy. Against a backdrop of rapid species extinction, the ESP aims to speed up species conservation and preservation. It holds promise in promoting biodiversity informatics. Taxonomy underpins biodiversity research, and it will contribute important information to the ESP. For the ESP to make breakthroughs and innovations in biological sciences, it requires not only organic integration with the taxonomic community, but also needs to align with current major research programs and national strategies on biodiversity in China.

Key words: taxonomy, genome project, interdisciplinary research
