Continuous cell proliferation and de novo meristem formation drive clone-forming growth and prolonged longevity in epiphytic fern gametophytes - Wu et al.

Fig. 1.Morphology of Phlebodium pseudoaureum. (A) A fertile frond of Phlebodium with attached sori. (B) An individual sporangium. (C–L) Representative images of gametophytes at different days after inoculation onto growth medium: (C) 20, (D) 31, (E) 86, (F–J) 111, (K) 133, and (L) 129. Arrows in (G–K) indicate meristem notches. The dashed circle in (L) highlights a cluster of multiple meristems and prothalli derived from a single gametophyte body. Scale bars are 5 mm in (A, L) and 100 μm in (B–K). The gametophyte shown in (I) developed independent new meristems (arrows); the one on the left is also shown in Supplementary Fig. S2C. The images shown in (C–E) and in (F–K) are representative of at least 40 and 12 independent gametophytes observed during the developmental stages, respectively.

Nymphaea (65 spp) has a worldwide distribution. Hybridizers have developed lots of cultivars, so flowers come in just about every color. Growers recognize 3 groups: Hardy, Tropical Day-Blooming & Tropical Night-Blooming. This is ‘Wanvisa,’ a popular Hardy cultivar. #Nymphaeaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Macro photograph of a delicate white wildflower bloom in the Brassicaceae family, showing multiple tiny four-petaled flowers arranged along a vertical stem. The botany specimen displays translucent white petals with bright yellow stamens and anthers at the center of each bloom. Round unopened buds cluster below the open flowers in varying shades of olive green and brown. Soft bokeh background blurs into warm peachy and cool blue tones.

Soon the White House as we’ve come to know it will become a heaping smoldering pile of rubble thanks to the ADHD Adderall addicted “President” squatting there.

George Washington & John Adams are spinning in their graves.

Helen Kennedy @helenkennedy.bsky.social · 6d

Spectacular robbery of the French crown jewels at the Louvre today: three masked men climbed a ladder, broke a window, lifted nine priceless pieces from the Apollo gallery, got away on motorbikes. No one hurt.
Reportedly the most famous piece in the room, the 140 carat Regent diamond, was not taken.
