Been a while. Getting excited about #PlantBio2024 and networking with some old friends and getting to finally meet the @ASPB_PUI section. Come find me at the poster session to learn more about the NSF funded CONNECT network https://t.co/NRHUqc5tNn and also some root research.

Growth of a seedlingš± The first two "true leaves" of a seedling grow from the meristem, a region of small undifferentiated cells between the two embryonic leaves, or cotyledons. These are usually covered in spiky trichomes as they are vulnerable to herbivory by insects.

Last week we handed off pollen and nectar samples to @RoyRahul86 @st_kates! Collected over the summer as part of our @mnenrtf funded research on ground-nesting bees, we'll use these samples to understand fire's impacts on pollen and nectar characteristics.

Dear Conference organizers or people who can get the message out to them, this is such a cool idea.

Corporate-branded pens, bags, water bottlesāmost of it is made of cheap, unsustainable materials. But a CSU professor envisions an alternative.

Summer research students Ya Yei Xiong and Naturelle Vang are setting up hydroponic experiments with Brassica plants to see the effect of altered nutrient conditions on nectar quality and quantities. Exciting times!

Please RT. Trying to find a resource/collection/textbook where current trends in plant mineral nutrition are discussed, various recipes compared and nutrient deficiencies discussed with effect on various plant physiological aspects at the molecular level if possible.

As you submit final grades do remind students if you can that they more than a grade. The C might reflect their current learning of your subject but not who they are as a person. If you can add a personal story of failing or struggling in a class that you teach now, bonus points

Cool
It is interesting that the floral tube of Scutellaria indica turned 90 degrees at the bottom. I guess such design can avoid the ovary to be hurt by the pollinator's mouth-part when they suck the nectar. If it is true, why most of the other species don't adopt such strategy.
