April 7th is #WorldHealthDay 🌍 Plant health is easy to overlook, but it underpins our crops, food systems, ecosystems, and long-term human health. Our work at C-SPIRIT focuses on building plant resilience to support that bigger picture 🌱 #plantscience

An undergraduate student in the lab, Andy Marchant, made this awesome image of a moss (Physcomitrium patens) apical chloronema cell. This is a beautiful example of how the ER network looks in plant cells (in green). The chlorophyll autofluorescence is in magenta. #microscopymonday #moss
