Phyllobotryon spathulatum has epiphyllous inflorescences, i.e. the flowers appear to be borne on the upper surface of the leaf blade, as shown in this photo by Bernard DUPONT (CCBYSA2). What are the ants up to? Probably stealing nectar. #Salicaceae #botany 🌾🧪

Snowplants. Sarcodes sanguinea. They have no chlorophyll and are parasitic plants that get their nutrients and sugars from the roots of trees via mycorrhizal fungi. They are in the family Ericaceae, the same family as azaleas and blueberries. We found these in the mountains of S California

Hot off the press today in @currentbiology.bsky.social, our very latest on Mucoromycotina ‘fine root endophyte’ #mycorrhizas! led by Nathan Howard, we show N source preference and exogenous C metabolism by #MFRE: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... short 🧵
Preferential nitrogen and carbon exchange dynamics in Mucoromycotina “fine root endophyte”-plant symbiosis
Mucoromycotina “fine root endophyte” (MFRE) fungi are an understudied group of plant symbionts that regularly co-occur with arbuscular mycorrhizal fun…

Lightning damage being compartmentalized on young tuliptree. This may be completely internal in 10-12 years.

Nutrient Dilution and the Future of Herbivores: a short thread
The fossil fuel folks claimed that all the extra CO2 is great for plants. Indeed, plant mass has increased globally by about 30% in the past century.
But when you load a plant up the carbs, what happens to all its other nutrients?
