Ground breaking works from Agata Burian’s lab showing beautiful self organizing patterns of internal vasculature strands ahead of epidermal auxin maxima! Most importantly, the new opening strands form convergent angles that close to those observed in Fibonacci, Lucas, and Bijugated spiral patterns.

Gotta Catch’Em All!

Happy to announce that I will be opening my lab in the PMB department at UC Berkeley this July. Our lab will study nectary development and evolution using non-conventional models. We are actively recruiting. Join us if you are also enthusiastic about development or evolution!

As part of the special issue for nectar and nectaries, our new review on nectary development and evolution is now published at @newphyt.bsky.social! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

As part of the special issue on Nectar & Nectaries. Evin et al., contributed a fascinating review for nectar color and nectar chemistry! @newphyt.bsky.social

Consider joining us for PBI on Plant Rewards this year! We have travel grants for ECR that are due next Monday!

Working on nectaries or plant-pollinator interactions? Join us for this year's Harvard Plant Biology Initiative Symposium on 'Plant Rewards' on May6/7. We have an awesome lineup of speakers with free registration. We are also offering two ECR travel grants (due April 14): forms.gle/jhTnv8pbuBxX...

With apple #blossom season just around the corner (in our neck of the woods at least) now seems like a good time to reprise my article from a couple of years back, 'Lifecycle of an Apple, From Bud to Blossom to Fruit'. The story of a single apple, in 50+ photos. orchardnotes.com/2023/03/28/l...

Seed and tuber collections are really, really, REALLY important. A short thread 🧵 1/5 🧪 #plantscience

The source of nectar secretion varies in position & shape. In many monocots, the nectary is in the wall (septum) of the pistil. Here in Hemerocallis (#Asphodelaceae) the tepals & stamens are removed to show the septal nectary is at the base of the superior ovary. #Nectar drop circled. #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
