Leaf infiltration is a widely used technique in plant science for delivering Agrobacterium or chemicals directly to plant cells 🍃🧬 For those who do it regularly, there’s a satisfaction in watching the liquid flow seamlessly through the leaf's airspaces—when done well..

Happy Friday everybody! Here are some Arabidopsis flowers with a soft pink center.

My second favorite mutation in A. thaliana goes to immutans 🌱 We’ve all seen variegation—the striking appearance of different colors in plant parts, often forming fascinating patterns. While several A. thaliana mutants show variegation, immutans is unique… 🧵

While animal movements are largely regulated through electrical signals and muscle contractions, plant movements are controlled primarily through hormone signaling, changes in turgor pressure, and cell wall loosening. Plant growth behavior operates on another timescale🌱⌛️

Happy Friday everyone! Here are some cool Arabidopsis mini trees🌴 Arabidopsis arenosa hypocotyls can undergo extensive secondary growth and the rosettes that develop on top make them look like palm trees 🤯I wonder if this can be engineered in thaliana..
