Friday Flower 007: Petunia 💮✨ Petunias carry the active transposon dTph1, which powers mutant screens and paints stripey patterns as it jumps. Their five petals are fused, with diverse color designs tracing the corolla’s fusion seam.

Excited to share insights from the latest research in "Engineering chromatin and transcriptome regulation in plants: Strategies, challenges, and outlook" - a review looking at approaches to the development of epigenetic tools and how they can be integrated in research and agriculture.

Great that our research is resonating with the community! Check us out in the AD! #Scienceinthenews #flowerpower #research #UU www.ad.nl/utrecht/waar...
