This book is wonderful. We'll be reading several chapters in my #PlantBiology course this coming semester, as it is well written for learners of biology. It covers a broad array of biological topics and emphasizes how much you can learn about life by studying a single species (or two, in this case).

Very happy to start the new year with publication of our new work on leaf surface RNA. Plant leaves secrete diverse RNAs that are surprisingly stable on their surfaces. Next question to answer: What do they do? www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....
