Studying at TSU will help a Chinese scientist preserve nature in China

2019-09-23

Chuck Yang, a graduate student from Sichuan University in the People’s Republic of China, has come to TSU to work with the exhibits of Herbarium named after P.N. Krylov, which houses a unique collection of plants in Siberia and adjacent regions. The young scientist is confident that the knowledge gained in Siberia can be useful for preserving the biodiversity of the Chinese flora.

- I am amazed at the size of TSU Herbarium plant collections, - Chuck Yang shares his impressions. -They were formed over many years by Tomsk florists and taxonomists, and your scientific school has tremendous experience in collecting and identifying plants. In China, this area is less developed, but now high-tech molecular research methods are gaining momentum, and I think our efforts to study plant diversity and phylogeny can complement each other well.
