🌸⚖️ RESEARCH ⚖️🌸 Live imaging and hormone manipulation shows how auxin–cytokinin crosstalk drives differential growth at the cellular level in the gynoecium to establish the correct geometry for carpel primordia initiation – Gómez-Felipe et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 1 (shortened, full legend in paper): Growth differences between meristem regions underlies gynoecium initiation in Arabidopsis. (A) Schematic top view of the inflorescence showing initiating floral buds at different developmental stages (St) according to Smyth et al. (1990). (B) Time-lapse series capturing carpel primordia establishment from early stage 5 to late stage 6 over 72 h at 24 h intervals. Median sepals were removed. (C) Heat maps of Gaussian curvature at the different stages; the bottom row shows virtual longitudinal sections through the bud along its lateral axis. Increases in positive Gaussian curvature are indicated with white arrows (dark red zones in the top image). The blue arrows indicate a carpel primordium emerging as a lateral protrusion on the floral meristem. (D) Heat map of percentage area expansion between the stages. (E) Heat map of cell divisions between the stages. (F) Heat map of cell sizes at the different stages.

#PlantScienceClassics #20: Kinetin & Cytokinins. In 1955 Carlos Miller, Folke Skoog & co-workers describe the first #Cytokinin and its role in promoting cell division and growth promotion. #Phytohormones #PlantScience #PlantDevelopment pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1... pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...
The authors of the two papers. Carlos O. Miller standing on the left, looking down upon a couple of glass beakers. Opposite him, from the back to the front, are Malcolm H. van Saltza, Francis Shigeo Okumura, Folke K. Skoog and Frank M. Strong. Below the photo are the headers of their two papers describing kinetin, the first cytokinin: “Kinetin, a cell division factor from desoxyribonucleic acid” by Carlos O. Miller, Folke K. Skoog, Malcolm H. van Saltza and Frank M. Strong, and “Structure and synthesis of kinetin” by Carlos O. Miller, Folke K. Skoog, Francis Shigeo Okumura, Malcolm H. van Saltza and Frank M. Strong. Both published in 1955 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

‪In solidarity with scientists and academics working in the United States, Argentina, and all countries where academic freedom is under threat. Today, French scientists and citizens rally in more that 30 cities #StandUpForScience @standupforscience.bsky.social @cdelawalla.bsky.social
Dear all,
The Stand Up For Science movement has gained exceptional momentum in France. This Friday, March 7, we will have the opportunity to collectively express our solidarity with scientists and academics working in the United States, Argentina, and all countries where academic freedom is under threat. We hope to bring them strength as they wake up to see that mobilization is already widespread here, with around fifty events taking place in thirty cities. 
Tomorrow’s marches and rallies will also be an opportunity to stand together against the threats facing public research and universities here as well. Stand Up For Science was born from the momentum of the scientists and citizens who joined it. It is now up to us to turn it into a lasting movement in the weeks ahead. There is much to be done: welcoming scientists and academics forced into exile, securing scientific data and results, driving the necessary changes to confront democratic, social, climate, ecological, and health crises, and lifting knowledge-producing and knowledge-sharing institutions out of financial distress.
On March 7, let us rise for science—and then, let us remain standing.
