Distyly (Evolution 🧬)

Distyly is a breeding system in plants that is characterized by two separate flower morphs, where individual plants produce flowers that have either long styles and short stamens or short styles and long stamens. However, distyly can refer to any plant that shows some degree of self-incompatibility and has two morphs if at least one of the following cha...

Welp, my thesis was finally published to ProQuest today. The Masters feels real now.

Whenever I get a chance to see another Rosaceae family plant's buds emerging, I take a look to compare it to how almond emerges.

This is Rubus idaeus (raspberry). #Botany #PlantMorphology #Leaves #Horticulture @plantscience

When needed, the deciduous tree pulls energy from its roots and up to the bare buds curled up tightly against a harsh environment...and the small leaves inside draw strength and burst through the bud scale barriers.

They start small, but grow larger and larger, producing energy that feeds the tree they belong to, and recharges the roots against future harsh events.

There are two almond blocks separated by a dirt road in the research orchards I visit most often. One block is already mostly through blooming and leaves are significantly emerged. The northernmost orchard is a litle behind. It's blooming, but the leaves haven't really popped yet.

Here's a floral bud (pops first) and vegetative bud side by side so you can compare their form and development. #Botany #Horticulture #PlantMorphology

Distyly (Evolution 🧬)

Distyly is a type of heterostyly in which a plant demonstrates reciprocal herkogamy. This breeding system is characterized by two separate flower morphs, where individual plants produce flowers that either have long styles and short stamens, or that have short styles and long stamens. However, distyly can refer to any plant that shows some degree of sel...

Feron kingi seems to be the ID for the wasp modifying the plant's action.

Same species of oak, only about 20 meters away. Same type of gall on the leaves, but a different sort on the stem.

This sort of round wasp gall is a familiar sight to many Californians. It will eventually lose its reddish color and go tan and sometimes will drop off. The inside looks a bit like upholstery foam when you see it in that condition. #Botany

Insect galls are really interesting...not just from the insect perspective but from the plant one. How much was a palette of possibilities that was in the plant all along? How much is the direction of the insect?

This oak in the UC Davis Arboretum, and nearby oaks in Davis show the marks of insects sculpting the plant's leaves and twigs for their own purposes.

One advantage of taking lots of photos and keeping things even though they seem to be "nothing" is that now I've taught myself how to read almond growth better.

So in the process of going through old data and trying to synchronize photos from at least 3 cameras with notes (both lab and personal), I am proud that I've taught myself how to read the buds and growth, and now those photos say more to me than before. #PlantMorphology #Botany

Almond vegetative bud partway through leafing out. The bud scales have lengthened and still hold everything in place and upright. #PlantMorphology #Botany @plantscience

Here's a faucet mesh next to it for scale. #PlantMorphology #Botany

It's taking me so long to get through this dissection that the color's off a bit, but here's a view of one of the dormant almond outer bud scales, detached and viewed from above.

#PlantMorphology #Botany @plantscience

ideally, I'd have a team helping me. I didn't get far before my hands started hurting too much to push on (I've had an RSI flareup for a month or more now). (EDIT: one person to carefully dissect, one person to document with photographs, one to draw/note)

I got 3 outer scales carefully pulled off, photographed in various ways with scale, and some rough drawings with observations regarding the textural qualities that all of my cameras/lenses tend to flatten too much. #PlantMorphology #Botany

Sorta woke up and realized this dormant almond bud is from a different-aged stem than what I've previously dissected.

I'm trying to dissect it anyway. Here's the outermost full-sized bud scale next to that faucet mesh for scale. This is very small stuff.

Not fun to try to dissect and keep each scale intact as one does so! #PlantMorphology #Botany

Oops. Forgot to try the faucet mesh out for scale. #PlantMorphology #Botany #Microscopy

Dormant 'Nonpareil' almond bud collected last month, as viewed under the dissection microscope. #PlantMorphology #Botany #Microscopy
