Hunger and malnutrition are urgent problems for many poor countries, and yet plant biologists in wealthy nations have focused most of their research efforts on Arabidopsis thaliana. Some people have argued that if plant biologists are truly concerned about fighting world hunger, they should focus their studies on crops such as cassava and plantain because they are staples for many of the world’s poor. If you were an Arabidopsis researcher, how might you respond to these arguments?​.

Sagot :

Answer:

As a researcher studying Arabidopsis, I would say Arabidopsis is like a small kid in a big school. We learn a lot from it because it's easier to study. But I understand we need to help people who are hungry. We can use what we learn from Arabidopsis to help crops like cassava and plantain grow better. It's like learning small things in school that help us understand bigger things later. So, by studying Arabidopsis, we're learning how plants work, and we can use that to help other plants that people need to eat.
