Plants need champions! People who can tell engaging stories about plants. People who understand plants and explain how plants function
People who can explain that plants are critical for human survival.
Books shown from David Attenborough, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Jonathan Drori, Richard Powers, Danny Chamovitz, Ferris Jabr, Malcolm Wilkins, Charlotte McConaghy, Andy Weir, Beronda Montgomery, and Amanda Rasmussen.
It's gift-giving season!
Why not give the gift of plant knowledge?
Here are some excellent, accessible books to engage & excite.
Fantastic offerings from @berondam.bsky.social (& a new one out in Jan)

ERAD machinery controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES in plants
Plant ERAD machinery governs the turnover of auxin transporters involved in developmental and stress responses.
1/ ๐ฑ When plants face stress, they often suppress growth to save resources.
In our new Science Advances paper, we reveal how: plants repurpose their ER quality control machinery (ERAD) to regulate auxin compartmentalization and thus growth.
