This spring was unusually warm—near 59° N in Sweden (around Stockholm latitude) it felt like we skipped straight to summer. Ash trees were late as usual, but even aspens (!!) lagged (late May photo). A glimpse of “#spring_forward” in a warming climate 🌳🌡️

Nice work from Bhalerao group @umeaplantsciencecentre.se showing how FT1 and GAs via GA20ox1 form a temperature‑processing system—responsive to both cold and warm spells—that controls plasmodesmata opening and the timing of bud dormancy release.https://rdcu.be/e2mgs

Variable temperature processing by plasmodesmata regulates robust bud dormancy release

#PlantResearch Enjoyed writing with @beverleycubg.bsky.social a perspective about wonderful paper by Valencia-Montoya et al. in this week's Science. Cycads use thermal radiation to affect pollinators. Is this why Cycads are not as diverse as angiosperms? share.google/Xj8iH9E4tqvN...

Infrared as a pollination signal

Relying on infrared communication over visual color could have limited cycad evolution
