Who else is obsessed with the garden store?

Tell me about the beautiful plants you got or have plans to get or just love to talk about?

#FreeToRead article from our latest special issue! Xie et al. use #palynological data to uncover insights into #vegetation succession in the central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during the Late Oligocene and Early Miocene!

Welcome to the Roof of the World!
Our latest issue is dedicated to the remarkable #biology, #ecology, #diversity, and #evolution of the #Himalayas, a region that has captured hearts and minds for generations!

The unique Pan-#Himalaya flora is crucial for understanding the #evolutionary history of mountainous #biodiversity. Liu et al. propose a phylogenetic regionalization of the Pan-Himalayan vascular flora. https://doi.org/10.1111/jse.13166

1/8 Exciting developments in biology!

Our research investigates the 24-hour, biological clock in plants, now using absolute protein quantification thanks to Uriel Urquiza’s hard work with me, Karen Halliday and Nacho Molina.

It points to some simple conclusions, some unknown regulatory mechanisms and the promise of a whole new level of understanding.

The Pan-#Himalaya region is home to several #biodiversity hotspots. Yang et al. review #plant #diversity surveys in the region and propose special focus be given to northern Myanmar and Yarlung Zangbo–Brahmaputra.

Do you have computational modeling skills and an interest in understanding how plants respond to stress? There is a #FundedPhD for you at IceLab in Umeå University! Work with @mrosvall.bsky.social, Åsa Strand and Ludvig Lizana. Apply by Feb 16 www.umu.se/en/work-with... #plantsci #complex #phdsky

#Plants with different #growth forms #adapt differently to their respective #environments, thus creating distinct #geographical patterns of #phylogenetic relatedness across a broad #environmental gradient. Read on to learn more!

#Plants have #evolved sophisticated immune systems, but there's still so much we don't know about them! Here, Yan et al. report that #rice E3 ubiquitin ligases balance #immunity and #yield through non-proteolytic ubiquitination.

Blah photo on a dark day, any tips genuinely appreciated, but Biology.

Near-catastrophic damage up the trunk and branches (fire below? tear-out?), now zipping back together from the top .

Study of Late Devonian #ovules and #seeds is crucial for understanding #evolution of seed #plants. In this week's #FossilFriday, Liu et al. describe 2 new species of Late Devonian seed Cosmosperma from South China.

Quite some #PlantSci happening here too!

We've got that #FossilFriday feeling here at #JSE! So let's bring back one of our greatest hits from earlier this year. Join Patel et al. on a trip to the early Eocene with this fascinating peek into our #PlantSci past!
