The London #plane (#Platanus × #hispanica) is frequently planted in major German cities due to its tolerance of urban climates, as seen here in park Rehberge, Berlin. Photos show the #fruit, a spherical cluster of nut-like achenes with wind dispersal. According to S. Zhang et al. (2019), three #FULlike #genes, PlacFL1/2/3, regulate flowering, #flowerdevelopment, and #dormancy.
