🔬Microscopy Thursday!

🌿Did you know that plants can grow crystals? Here is a piece of oak with Ca-oxalates growing in its cells. In some plants, oxalate crystals form ~80% of their dry mass. In humans, they make kidney stones.

Sample provided by Dr Susanna Harris (University of Glasgow).

🌿🔬 RESEARCH 🔬🌿

Using genetically encoded biosensors, we revealed the spatiotemporal dynamics of pattern-triggered immunity responses induced by different danger signals and by Pseudomonas syringae in Arabidopsis seedlings - Mor et al.

#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 1 (shortened, full legend in paper): Global exposure of seedlings to pathogen-derived signals induces pH and redox response gradients from roots and petioles to hypocotyls. (A) Five-day-old seedlings expressing the cytosolic pH or redox sensors, pUBQ10::pHGFP or p35S::roGFP2-Orp1, were used to monitor immune responses over 120 min in petioles, hypocotyls, and roots after treatment with 100 µM flg22 or elf18, or ddH2O (mock). (B) Representative microscopy images (of the merged channel) of seedlings treated with ddH2O (mock), elf18, or flg22 at the indicated time points reveal cytosolic acidification and oxidation [calibration bar using the Rainbow Look-Up Table (LUT) shows a shift from blue towards red]; scale bar=250 µm. (C) Quantification of relative acidification and oxidation as shown in (B).

A science presentation setup for *Moss Safari: The Microscopic Adventure* by Edulab. The presenter stands behind a table with a microscope, laptop, and scientific equipment. To the left, a large banner promotes *Moss Safari*, while a screen on the right displays its logo and the text “In search of a water bear.” Several microscopes are arranged on tables in the background, alongside boxes of materials. The setup suggests an educational event or workshop focused on exploring microscopic organisms in moss.
