79% Informative
Plant biologists examined records for nearly 1,200 individual corpse flower plants from 111 institutions around the world.
Out of the plants studied, 24% were clones and 27% were offspring from closely related individuals.
Low genetic diversity could lead to further endangerment and even extinction.
The study will be published on April 3 in the Annals of Botany.
Researchers received data from nearly 1,200 individual plants from 111 institutions across North America , Asia , Australia and Europe .
Institutions often did not record the sources and origins of individual plants.
Of the 1,188 individual plants in the dataset, 287 ( 24% ) were clones and 27% were offspring from closely related individuals.
