@PlantTeaching Going to Portugal? See the great cork oak trees!
Amazingly useful bark! From the cork cambia in phloem.
The world’s best for thousands of years. Still the top source.

Look at domestication features in maize ears lacking #strigolactones (ccd8 mutant)! We find longer kernel-bearing cupules (key tissues dark pink) and smaller kernels. See more on phenotype and signaling network. https://t.co/GJr7iabomZ @ThePlantCell

Prehistoric features! We’re really proud of this one and hope others find it interesting too.
Maize domestication phenotypes reveal strigolactone networks coordinating grain size evolution with kernel-bearing cupule architecture. See TPC!
