The Pipe Smoking Plant.!!!
A Medicinal Plant from Tamilnadu which blooms in rainy season.
It's emitting its pollen through its flowers just like steam engine emits water vapours.
Enjoy this lovely scene.😄
These leaf insects with spectacular leaf mimicry,
walking leaves with elaborate marks resembling veins, disease, damage, holes and ‘insect bites’
This kind of camouflage where animals blend into their surroundings is called protective resemblance

Fatal Attraction😈
7-hour timelapse showing the precision guidance of pollen tubes (gray) by synergid cells (pink) housed within the ovules (blue). Upon arrival, one synergid dies along with the explosion of the pollen tube allowing for sperm release (see top right ovule).
3D reconstruction and segmentation of Arabidopsis synergid cells and their filiform apparatus- a thickened cell wall structure that facilitates secretion of pollen tube attractants. Thanks, @CeliaBaroux for the great Imaris tutorial!
Fresh from the oven: new paper from our lab! An updated review on the important roles of the transmitting tract in plant reproduction 🌱🌸 Congratulations @meninatoxica, @diana_moreira8 , @scoimbra_silvia & Simona Masiero! It’s an open access publication!
