🙈 #plantblindness Diversity matters!
An article on Model Organisms, published in Science in 2005, lists the Models that together represent "the diversity of life".
Guess which model is missing from the list?
This view is one major reason why it's so difficult to obtain funding for basic plant research.

Enjoy the view! This is clearly the best ever science experience I have had emerging from fruitful collaboration with @ucalgary.bsky.social @tengzhanguh.bsky.social @helsinki.fi and funded by the Research Council of Finland
Have you ever wondered what’s inside the head of a flower? Researchers @ucalgary.bsky.social @helsinki.fi and the CLS used our synchrotron’s X-ray imaging to map the structure of daisy-like plants, revealing a vein network that moves water and nutrients. Paper: https://bit.ly/4mBnqcZ
