🥑🌱 RESEARCH 🌱🥑 Immature fruitlet abscission in avocado is mediated by a hormone-driven and transcriptome reprogramming that activates a senescence program of development in the seed coat to trigger abscission - Haberman et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 9.Differential expression of seed-dormancy signaling genes during fruitlet growth arrest in avocado. (A, B) Representative images of (A) a persisting and (B) a recently abscised fruitlet; EM, embryo; the red arrowhead indicates the seed coat. (C) Schematic diagram of dormancy signaling pathways. (D) Heatmaps of differentially expressed of ABA-associated dormancy-signaling genes in the seed coat, pericarp, and embryo during natural growth arrest (NGA), defoliation-induced early growth arrest (DEGA), and defoliation-induced late growth arrest (DLGA), as described in Fig. 3. (E) Heatmaps of differential expression of FT- and MFT-associated genes. The heatmaps show the log2(fold-change) of expression according to the colour gradient. Genes with a log2(fold-change)≤1 were assigned a value of 0. n=5.

Wait, what??? I think a lot of nerds in Russia are familiar with Eskov's book, but I always thought that a) nobody outside of Ru knows it b) Eskov writing was a bit tongue in chick, "look guys how clever I am" (compared to the "Black Book of Arda" which is more "serious" in tone

Spacecraft data fucking sucks. The probes are scarce and low-resolution. Maybe we need a bigger and better probe. Some kind of a station for probes that people can access from different countries. Some sorts of International Space Station.

My cat understands the call-and-response component of greetings, but not the context, so sometimes I have to say "hello" to her when she's been there the whole time because otherwise she'll get upset that I did not Furnish The Correct Response.

Puzzle/VN hybrids that randomly swerve into top-down shooters in the final act are well and good, but my dream that will never happen due to resource constraints is to play one that randomly swerves into a PvE *hero* shooter in the last 20 minutes.

🧬🔬 Why are enhancers transcribed and how does that impact gene regulation? I’m really excited to share our new paper in @science.org showing that noncoding RNAs control the timing of gene activation in embryos. With Mike Levine #ScienceResearch @columbiamed.bsky.social A few highlights below... 🧵👇

Noncoding transcription controls the developmental dynamics of long-range gene regulation
The genomic regions regulating gene expression are often themselves transcribed into a variety of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the regulatory roles of this noncoding transcription remain largely ...

bloomfilters.neocities.org/journal/boys... relatedly is the thing
Q. You want to raise every boy as a girl?

Yes.
Q. Why?

A boy will learn to hate girls as long as he is raised in such a way where he is treated as better, and superior to, his girl peers, whenever he is cruel to girls. So, instead, we raise boys as girls.
Q. What if they say they are not a girl, and want to be acknowledged as a boy?

Then you know they are a boy, so you must make sure to understand them as a boy, and not a girl.
Q. What does it mean to be "raised as a girl"?

That's up for you to decide. The only difference is that you should not raise boys any differently than you raise girls, since you raise every boy as a girl.Q. Girls and boys are raised in specific ways for specific purposes, so it does not make sense to raise boys as girls.

If you raise every boy as a girl, then there is no being which is not raised as a girl, so anyone raised as a girl necessarily must learn to do anything and everything to grow up, without restrictions on tasks, labours, or interests.
Q. But boys and girls are different.

All two girls are different, and raising girls in one specific way destroys this individuality in favour of moulding girls to serve the same master. Still, the girls resist to live life on their own terms. If girls can be raised such that they know they can do anything they want, including not being girls, so too will boys raised as girls.
Q. Why not raise every girl as a boy?

Because if a girl does not exist among boys, then the girl is made.
Q. Why not raise girls and boys as themselves?

The self must be made in a world where girls and boys can first and foremost be themselves. One step towards this goal is to raise every boy as a girl.
Q. The way people raise girls is cruel, so why would you raise boys with that cruelty?

If you raise girls with cruelty, then you should stop being cruel to girls.

we nearly lost VitaDB and Rinnegatamante's involvement to the scene altogether because of these guys. Which is significant because that guy is pretty much carrying the community on his back. They harassed him to the pointof shutting Down VitaDB when he restricted AI submissions.

They say it's unstated assumptions that date a work more than explicit details, and that the narrator of "Omelas" thinks "public free-use sex as a cultural institution" requires less suspension of disbelief than "socially responsible drug policy" may be the most intensely 1970s thing I've ever read.

Embodied adulthood does not exist in America. Child abuse is endemic because the child is the center of the culture and resented for it. That the children themselves are miserable in the face of this centrality- its abusiveness, that "protection" is usually a threat- does not change this

Donnie Darko is a film worth watching for a thousand different reasons but I think one of the things it's especially worth revisiting for is the fact it executed the sort of magical realist bildungsroman popular today in a way that's emotionally honest and existentially compelling

Can forest trees sense, via their root systems, whether their neighbours are suffering from herbivore attack, and go into defence mode themselves? This was a question I addressed in my PhD project, and the study has now been published in JXB: doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... 🐛🌲✉️🌳🚨

Fagus sylvatica detects below-ground stress signals from conspecific and heterospecific (Picea abies) neighbors, triggering increased volatile organic compound emissions from shoots
This study found that below-ground signaling occurs between temperate tree saplings: when herbivory was simulated at sender plants, untreated receiver tree

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc
