It was a lot of fun working with poet George Ttoouli for #CoventryCreates - our work on genetic diversity framed with a different viewpoint and words. Hear our interview with Rachel New BBC Coventry & Warwickshire and visit the link below to see our work 👇👇👇🥕🥕🥕

Hear about the work of Shannon Greer - including using crop diversity in the search for methods of control of Xanthamonas, a bacterial plant pathogen. A large amount of the material screened originated from our collection! #PlantHealthDay #PlantHealthWeek
