It’s a real privilege to support Paula Rudal’s brilliant work on such a captivating topic.
A big thank you to Manoj Kumar-Mahto for your invaluable help in exploring the microscopic wonders inside plants. Collaborations like this are what make science so exciting.

Thrilled to see our work featured on the cover of #AJB!
Thanks to Paula Rudall and Mano Mahto for the outstanding job — Imaging Lab @rbgkew.bsky.social — and to @botsocamerica.bsky.social for the journal cover.

Excited to further explore the anato/chem traits in plant EcoEvo using our SEM/EDS!
