Which countries lead Genetics and Plant Breeding research?
By volume, India and China publish the most (1.3k and 516 works in 2022–2025).
How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
