Why is flooding harmful for plants?
Today, we listened to an amazing talk by prof. @R_Sasidharan from @UniUtrecht, explaining how an intricate spatio-temporal system coordinated by ethylene and ROS helps plants to cope with flooding stress.

Do you know that cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and kale are, in fact, the same species? Wonder what driver morphotype diversification between them? Check publication @NatureGenet from scientists at CAAS and @GuusjeBonnema @WUR
