公民科学是一种将普通公民纳入科学研究的方法，它在植物科学和育种方面也具有巨大的潜力，可以成为补充传统方法的有力研究工具。公民科学是一种将普通公民纳入科学研究的方法，但迄今为止还没有被植物科学的各个学科所利用。此外，全球威胁挑战人类福祉，科学可以提供解决方案，但需要离开广大公众心中的象牙塔。2016年，我们开展了“1000个菜园-大豆实验”公民科学项目，旨在寻找愿意在自己的菜园中种植大豆品系的德国公民，并对其适应性和农艺性能相关的一系列性状进行评估。在这里，我们描述了这个项目的细节，即公民科学家的招募，绩效和合规。共有2492名公民科学家自愿参与该项目，但通过媒体的高度报道，接触到了比参与者更广泛的受众。我们的1000花园项目成功地收集了科学上独特的数据集，其成熟度遗传率高达0.60，植物高度遗传率高达0.69。我们的研究结果表明，公民科学方法在植物科学中也具有巨大的潜力，可以成为补充传统方法的有力研究工具。我们的项目还成功地提高了公众对植物育种重要性的认识，并向更广泛的公众传播了豆类对可持续农业的多方面好处的关键信息。因此，通过将普通公民纳入科学研究，公民科学似乎是向公众展示育种和科学价值的一个有希望的途径。本文的在线版本（10.1007/s00122-018-3134-2）包含补充材料，仅供授权用户使用。
Citizen science, an approach that includes normal citizens in scientific research, holds great potential also for plant sciences and breeding and can be a powerful research tool to complement traditional approaches. Citizen science is an approach that includes normal citizens in scientific research, but has so far not been exploited by the various disciplines in plant sciences. Moreover, global threats challenge human well-being and science can provide solutions, but needs to leave the ivory tower in the mind of the broader public. In 2016, we performed the ‘1000 Gardens—the soybean experiment’ citizen science project, that aimed at finding citizens in Germany who would grow soybean lines in their own gardens and evaluate them for a range of traits related to adaptation and agronomic performance. Here, we describe details of this project, i.e. the recruitment, performance, and compliance of the citizen scientists. A total of 2492 citizen scientists volunteered for the project, but through the high media coverage a much broader audience than just the participants was reached. Our 1000 Gardens project was successful in collecting a scientifically unique data set with heritabilities ranging up to 0.60 for maturity date or 0.69 for plant height. Our results suggest that the citizen science approach holds great potential also for plant sciences and can be a powerful research tool to complement traditional approaches. Our project was also successful in raising public awareness about the importance of plant breeding and in communicating key messages on the manifold benefits of legumes for a sustainable agriculture to a broader public. Thus, citizen science appears as a promising avenue to demonstrate the value of breeding and science to the general public by including normal citizens in scientific research.
