thanks! We focused on the growth of Arabidopsis in lab conditions, so a bit different topic. That said, creosote rings look like a cool subject.

Comment les plantes savent-elles jusqu’à quelle taille pousser? Des scientifiques de l’UdeM ont créé le tout premier atlas mondial de la croissance des plantes.

A multiscale growth atlas of Arabidopsis: linking cell dynamics to organ development Plant development depends on coordinated growth at cellular and organ scales, yet comparative analyses are hindered by inconsistent reporting of growth across studies. We conducted a meta-analysis o.....

How fast do plants actually grow? And which growth processes matter most for organ size?
We dived into 176 papers, extracted and re-analyzed the data so you don’t have to!
