Out in @science.org this week: A decline in epigenetic silencing of TEs in older plant organs but not in the shoot meristem. TCX5 and TCX6 help regulate DNA methylation in this context.

I am really glad this virtual issue is now complete! We would like thank all the authors to their contribution and Evin Magner for the contribution of the cover. Please check out. We have a wide range of research area covered with both research papers and reviews.
Cool! Another example of dissociation between FN and EFN!
That is awesome! I imagine the floral nectary is still lost in this species right?
Out today! Our newly-described bush tomato #Solanum nectarifolium appears to be the first species in the genus with extrafloral nectaries that are visible to the naked eye. And ants seem to love 'em.

At the end of 2024 I did a chronological round up of all the #plantscience in @science.org that year.
So how did 2025 pan out? This year, I’m grouping papers thematically instead of chronologically so read on to find out what exciting plant science came out over the last 12 months. (1/22)
Congrats @jeffgroh.bsky.social et al. Some avocado trees open female-phase flowers in the morning & then male in afternoon. Others show complementary pattern (m->f), to synchronize pollination of two types. Jeff show this to be a >45Mya polymorphism at a transcription factor across 100s of species.
Looking for a gift for that somebody who likes food, drink, and...nature? The hardcover, paperback, and kindle editions of Most Delicious Poison are currently <$15 (and audiobook is on Audible and narrated by me): www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/noah-...

I see you are back to the dark world of Zeiss
Fun to get to highlight Minya's @minyaaa.bsky.social new paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/a/1mCCK3QW8S...
Ground breaking works from Agata Burian’s lab showing beautiful self organizing patterns of internal vasculature strands ahead of epidermal auxin maxima! Most importantly, the new opening strands form convergent angles that close to those observed in Fibonacci, Lucas, and Bijugated spiral patterns.

About 4 dollars each for the Takara one. Have not tried it yet but I heard it works
That is cool. How long after pollination does it occur?

Which filter set did you buy? We used green go for gfp. I am trying to see if we can get some other ones for other FP
Is this nightsee?
I am advertising a postdoctoral position in my new lab at Duke, to start as early as August 2026. If you are interested in how plant communities respond to climate change, please consider applying!
