Plant Science Research Weekly June 27 2025 plantae.org/plant-scienc... Special issues: Plants and Heat, Crops Under Stress; Review: Differences in sodium and potassium transport in Arabidopsis and crops; Suppression of lateral root formation in air gaps by IAA3 multimerization (1/3)
Diagram showing three plants, Arabidopsis, tomato, and rice. Beside each plant is an illustration of the HAK5 transporters. Arabidopsis does not have these, so shows an X. Tomato and rice each express them in reproductive tissues, which are drawn enlarged beside the plants.

Accessory fruits are super cool, though. Don't feel bad for it!

You might enjoy @markabelan.bsky.social's fruit anatomy and classification poster.
