Using pedigree tracking of the <i>ex situ</i> metacollection of <i>Amorphophallus titanum</i> (Araceae) to identify challenges to maintaining genetic diversity in the botanical community
Our work highlights the need for consistent, detailed record-keeping for effective implementation of an informed pedigree-based management approach and long-term maintenance of collections of endangered plant species in botanic gardens.
