The fantastic work of @kampova.bsky.social is finally out in PNAS: weather sensing and programmed cell death in anther dehiscence and opening. Cool science and awesome microscopy! @svosolsobe.bsky.social @handle.invalid @moritznowack.bsky.social

Stomatal transpiration and rapid programmed cell death ☠️ triggered by lowered ambient humidity causes anther tissue collapse for effective pollen release ! Happy to be part of this great PNAS story with @kampova.bsky.social, Matyáš Fendrych, and @svosolsobe.bsky.social! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
