The image shows an X post from @OfTheBraveUSA featuring a quote attributed to Joe Rogan: "I definitely don't think that the government should be involved ever in dictating what a comedian can or cannot say in a monologue — that's fucking crazy!" The post includes a photo of Joe Rogan speaking into a microphone, with a neon sign behind him displaying "The Joe Rogan Experience."

Where did the potato come from? Tomatoes, apparently.

New research explains how the two foods are related:

Where did the potato come from? Tomatoes, 9 million years ago, apparently.

The hybrid origin of potato tuberization.

From: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Ancient hybridization underlies tuberization and radiation of the potato lineage

Genomic and functional analyses reveal that the potato lineage originated from a homoploid interspecific hybridization event between the Tomato and Etuberosum lineages 8–9 million years ago. The alter...

Plants grow stronger under pressure 🌱💪
Weight-induced stress causes stems to widen and grow more vascular bundles. This response is driven by BRs & strigolactones via key signaling genes, boosting seed yield.
