Plant roots mysteriously pulsate and we don't know why – but finding out could change the way we grow things

Scientists are still trying to puzzle out strange oscillations in plant root genes,

Study reveals key molecular mechanisms involved in development of tomato plant

In an article published in the journal Development, researchers at the University of São Paulo's Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ-USP) in Brazil describe mechanisms relating to the development of the tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum) and point to ways of creating novel technologies for tomato yield improvement.

⛓️🌸 Reproductive Arrest 🌸⛓️

Controlling the end of #flowering allows plants to optimise the size of their offspring and maximise resource allocation.

See this review for a beautifully illustrated update on this process in #monocarpic #plants

Timing is everything: New insights into floral development unveil nature's perfect clock

The intricate process of flower development has long fascinated scientists seeking to unravel the mysteries behind nature's precision timing. In a study published in the journal The Plant Cell, a research team led by Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST), Japan has shed light on the inner workings of floral meristem termination and stamen development, uncovering a unique mechanism driven by the interplay of genetic and epigenetic factors.
