Nibbles: Weed resistance, Mango diversity, Breeding, Climate change

Here’s a turnup for the books: kill weeds in many different ways to prevent the evolution of resistance.
The Society for the Conservation of Mango Diversity. my kind of society.
“The overall aim of the IICI is to bring improved crops that yield more per acre, are richer in essential nutrients and resistant to disease, insects and drought to small farmers in developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.” Can I go home now?

If only improved seeds were open source, for example, eh?
If only we could cryopreserve coral, for example, eh? Wait, what?
