✨Ever wondered how C4 plants 🌱 manage to shuttle metabolites back and forth between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells so efficiently? ✨ They have increased cell-to-cell connectivity between these cells through A LOT of plasmodesmata. @plantsci

That’s exactly it. This place is rapidly becoming better at providing the kind of interesting, challenging input on which any serious attempt at making sense of the world needs to rely.
Once again Bluesky is performing what was really the most essential good feature of Twitter for me: It's giving me things to read that otherwise I would have missed.

There is an invertebrate feed, by the way. Be sure to like it in addition to pinning it because it's languishing behind the other nature feeds and isn't 'discoverable' because it has too few likes.
