Happy potato day! 🥔 🫶

The Commonwealth Potato Collection, held in trust by the Institute, is the UK’s genebank for 1500 accessions of wild and cultivated potatoes 🥔🌱 A priceless genetic resource, crucial for potato improvement & adaptation. #InternationalDayOfPotato More: bit.ly/3X2hFv9

💡New Insight 💡 "Beyond stomatal development: SMF transcription factors as versatile toolkits for land plant evolution" By Yuki Doll et al. Yuki Doll (ドル有生) 👉cambridge.org/core/journals/… #cooption #stomata #seta #airpore #Marchantia #polymorpha Hiroyuki Koga

New research published today in Springer Nature shows that mature eucalyptus trees don’t increase their growth with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which was expected to boost plant growth, due to soil microbes restricting their access to the essential nutrient
