Learned about Silflower breeding at UMN this AM.. by far the prettiest crop in the field! #silphium

[Laura Chatham @lachatham]

So excited to finally have a genome available!

[Oat Newsletter @OatNewsletter]

Yes! The first publicly available hexaploid #oat genome sequence has been released! Thank you @PepsiCo, @corteva, @unccharlotte, @agbiousask, and @GrainGenes. #oats #genomics

Color range possible with two anthocyanin-rich lines and one flavone-rich line bred from a single landrace. See our recent publication for more! #copigmentation #purplecorn #anthocyanins #naturalcolors PC+coauthor @JHoward191 https://t.co/5xznmb8YsP

So dark! So shiny! #sochrome #purplecorn #naturalcolors

@rellanalvarez @mnpaul47 We've also noticed higher concentrations (or at least better extraction efficiency), but unfortunately, cob and husk extracts can't be labeled as "vegetable juice for color" in the US the way kernels can.

Plant pigmentation mutation: #anthocyanins on; anthocyanins off! Here pitchers of #Sarracenia leucophylla - wild type w/ red & purple veins (L) and the horticulturally-propagated ‘viridescens’ form (R) lacking anthocyanins. Flowers shift from red to yellow too! #CarnivorousPlant

If the average American cut just a quarter pound of beef a week from their diet, about one hamburger, it would be the equivalent of taking 10 million cars off the road for a year. https://t.co/SqagPLcCDS

They are beautiful, and masters of deception. What's more – Rhizanthella are the only #orchids known to flower underground!

Anti-oral Microbial Flavanes from Broussonetia papyrifera Under the Guidance of Bioassay (Geng et al., 2019): https://t.co/kYiu71iLwg

A new flavane, bropapyriferol, and eleven known ones were isolated from the EtOAc part of B. papyrifera #openaccess #plantsci

Indica / sativa labels misleading re genetic relatedness and overall chemical profile. Instead current labels more representative of specific compounds - indica w/ myrcene (peppery, sedative) and sativa w/ trans-β-farnesene (fruity, green apple) #pagxxvii #cannabis

@kewgardens Is this galantamine? I know it’s been used for Alzheimer’s and heard it encourages lucid dreaming

My very first #paphiopedilumspicerianum bloom. Purchased last Spring from orchidsbyhausermann and well worth the wait! https://t.co/wwQ9u4EcVJ

Pumpkins are the squashy stars of October! As you sip your pumpkin spice latte, take a moment to review the chemicals behind the color aroma and taste of pumpkins. @compoundchem
