🍃New research shows that leaf traits and floral resources are closely linked, primarily determined by environmental selection, with pollinators playing a secondary role. These findings emphasise the interconnectedness of vegetative and reproductive traits in plant strategies.🌼 buff.ly/ueQtHkj

Frequent LLM use degrades cognitive ability. This is a huge part of why I don't use them in my daily life (not to mention the environmental implications). I'm glad to see research backing up the rhetoric that many of us have had from day one.

URGENT! Contact your senators today to advocate to fund science agencies and programs!

The Senate Appropriations Committee & its subcommittees are writing appropriation bills for the federal FY26 budget now.

Here's how you can help: esa.org/esablog/2025...

I credit my career path to being a 2015 PLANTS grant recipient and have volunteered as a mentor almost every year since. I cannot imagine BSA or the field of botany without it. Please consider donating to the BSA Human Diversity Fund to support future generations: crm.botany.org/makeadonation

Lovely ribbon made by @sugarmaplesap.bsky.social in celebration of my recent research presentation! 🌻 I absolutely love the community of plant people here at MSU 🫶

I don't even know what to say to this. I hoped we were through the worst of it (REU program cancellations had even slowed down for a while, until this week), but I guess not. What a shame.

🚨 March 2025 #Arctic sea ice extent was the lowest on record...

This was 1,290,000 km² below the 1981-2010 average. March ice extent is decreasing at about 2.46% per decade. Data: @nsidc.bsky.social (nsidc.org/data/seaice_...)

Welcome to Physiologia Plantarum's official Bluesky profile!
As an international journal dedicated to advancing plant science, we're excited to connect with our community here.

Expect the latest research highlights, plant biology insights, and upcoming publication updates. Stay tuned for more!

🔥ADVANCE ACCESS🔥: Green flowers need yellow to get noticed in a green world

Tis the season for winter storms in the Northern Hemisphere ❄️

Here's why snowflakes are six-sided, why ice floats on water, and the chemistry that takes place on ice crystals high in the atmosphere in this edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social: cen.acs.org/environment/...

Most research papers are boring, a few are intriguing, and rare ones have sparkle, presenting novel ideas, innovative methods, and important results as well as a good read. This one sparkles, and anyone can read it. It is worth your time to read this wonderful paper by the Dawson sisters and Rye.

Scientists!

We are trying to get 1000 of us into the volunteer database by Jan 1.

You'll be volunteering to speak with classrooms over video chat about your work, and answer their questions! You can volunteer for up to 5 sessions per semester.
