Phytotelma is a small water-filled cavity in a terrestrial plant. The water accumulated within these plants may serve as the habitat for associated fauna and flora. A rich literature in German summarised by Thienemann developed many aspects of phytotelm biology. Reviews […]

Calling all #ParasiticPlants enthusiasts, especially the fans of #endoparasites: our recent paper on #Pilostyles will be under free open access for 2 weeks!
We combine #PlantAnatomy, development, and #microCT to provide insights into the physiology, sexual system, and ecology of these strange plants

Plant life without leaves, roots or stems: anatomy, development and three-dimensional structure of the endoparasite Pilostyles blanchetii (Apodanthaceae) in Mimosa hosts AbstractBackground and Aims. The vegetative body of Pilostyles (Apodanthaceae) is highly reduced, composed of cell clusters that occupy the bark of the hos

This study reveals just how far parasitic plants can go in reducing their own structure, while still maintaining complex, intimate ties with their hosts. (8/8)

How do pistachio shells split? With Shuxiao Zhang and Georgia Drakakaki — Growing the Valley We know pistachios, and we love to eat them. Despite pistachio ice cream being the objectively best way to consume this nut , the majority of pistachios are sold in-shell. Have you ever wondered how t...

Cell layer-specific modification of cell wall is associated with exo-mesocarp split in pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) Pistachio ( Pistacia vera ) is a drought and salinity-tolerant perennial whose fruit features a fleshy exo-mesocarp, or “hull,” that protects the kernel. Hull development and degradation are key to kernel quality, yet the anatomy and mechanisms driving hull breakdown during late-stage development remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the hull contains anatomically distinct layers of hypodermal parenchyma and filler parenchyma. Using a combination of transcriptome analyses and immunohistochemistry, we show that changes in pectin associated gene expression and modification of this polysaccharide are involved in hull cell size increase, loss of cell-cell adhesion, and softening. Anatomical analysis shows that filler parenchyma expands during late-stage hull development while hypodermal parenchyma remains constant in size. Field data suggest that irrigation and humidity affect pistachio hull split, implicating a role for water status in cell expansion. In summary, the complex interplay between molecular, cellular, and environmental changes suggests that cell layer–specific modifications of the cell wall are linked to exo-mesocarp splitting, forming a model for understanding the mechanism of fruit split during ripening in non-berry fruit crops. Highlight Cell-layer specific modifications of the cell wall are associated with cell expansion and loss of cell-cell adhesion, leading to hull split during late-stage pistachio fruit development. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Anyway I've a first author pre-print out! doi.org/10.1101/2025... This one is more on the #plantanatomy and #plantdevelopment side of my work, focusing on #fruit cracking in #pistachios. Fingers crossed on the peer review folks.

At least two of us on BlueSky, and likely more, were mentored in #plantanatomy by the great Ray Evert who is still with us at age 94. The sad news is that is wife passed away at age 90 after their 65th wedding anniversary. Dr. Evert taught at UW-Madison Dept. of #Botany @tomkimmerer.bsky.social

Photo of a cross section of a banana stem wrapped in thin plastic and surrounded by many tightly wrapped banana leaf stalks surrounded by other vegetables in Asian food market. The banana piece is beige to brown, with a center circular stem, evenly yellow. Around it are thin halfmoon-shaped cross sections of leaf stalks, tightly wrapped around the central stem. Each leaf part shows banded patterns in beige and white. Own photo, (c) Lena Struwe, 2024. Musa sp. , Musaceae.

Fresh banana stems (10 cm in diameter) at the new local Asian market! My mind: wow, how can I use these to teach #plantanatomy better… cells, leaves, epidermis, stems, monocot, vascular bundles, stains, #microscopy….? And of course, must test it first. #botany #education #food #plantlove 🌱 🔬
