Some Parkinson’s patients experience sleep disorders and a diminished sense of smell years before motor symptoms appear. Researchers share other early signs of the disease—and efforts to study environmental factors that may contribute to it.

A surface is described as 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 when it’s covered with glandular hairs. In the case of this Petunia exserta, the glands are tiny but sticky enough to trap lots of fungus gnats! (This is a great plant for gnat control in a greenhouse.) #Solanaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Our new paper is out!
1/14 How does an organ rebuild its shape after injury? It's not just about making new cells, but aligning them in the right direction — like bricks shaping a structure. We show that it's all driven by Cell Geometry!

Wound repair in plants guided by cell geometry
Mathew et al. show that growth conflicts reshape cells after injury, forming rhomboidal
geometries that trigger diagonal divisions. This reorients cell files to restore tapered
morphology. A two-step ...
