Berry Go Round #64

Previous Berry Go Round is found at For the love of plants.

This is edition #64.

Unfortunately, I’m currently only left handed, so this edition will be more like a round of links and probably less wordy than could have been.

Any typo is mine…

Are tannin familiar to you? Did you know about how there’s even a special organella devoted to them? Then you should learn about it thanks to Kathleen Raven at Food Matters:

• Tannosomes and the trickle-around effect: a new cell organelle is discovered

This is a wonderfull collaborative blog, so you may find a lot of other stuff of interest, with or without plants but plenty:

• Cultivating Reform: Planting The Seeds For Healing The Food System, By Patrick Mustain

• Flour Power: Exploring the Nutritional Potential of Grape Pomace Flour, By Layla Eplett

• Organic Synthesis: Towards An Inclusion Of African Americans In Organic Farming, By Layla Eplett

And even GMOs debate going on:

• GMO Labeling, I-522, and Why This Debate Sucks for Progressive Scientists Like Me, By Kevin Bonham

• GMO Labeling Debate Follow-up, By Kevin Bonham

Anyhow, please have a nice blog mining, and hopefully we’ll meet Food Matters on next occasion!

Season is falling in tempirate climate, so how do trees cope? Find out in good company at… a rocking plant I thing:

• Autumn Tree Strategies, I
• Autumn Tree Strategies II

Unless you’d prefer Ghosts in the Rocks and spectacular spectralities!

• Needles to say, sheathe got an option! Looking closer is always good…

• … at least as good as chasing farther away. As long as it’s for plants of course:) it’s all in our Art: Plant Hunters – Marianne North

If it’s edible… it’s also readable:

• The Queen’s mulberries
• Unles you’d rather go for the Pea soup. It all depends on genealogy!

• But if it’s barely eaten, you can still “voir la vie en rose” or blue… (Metaphorically, blogging is for flowers too: see a Thanksgiving Tribute)

Or passing by, can you take it warm?

• A Plant Sexual Thermostat? – New Information About Temperature Controlled Flowering

Some more Raflesia on the internets: How A Plant Makes The Biggest Flower of Them All…

Aren’t plants always a mass of stuff? Well, while some families are familiar, the other are… Malpighiales: A Glorious Mess of Flowering Plants

Mossible? Unmossible?

• The Misery of the Misting Moss

•  Sooty mould makes a killer honey (in the “not a plant but still you should go” category)

Climate change is happening (one more bit of evidence):

• Grassland managers not responding to phenology shifts

Okay! Left hand tired flat! Oh, but there are many more gems over over!

For example, what’s in a tropical understory? A sub story of some sort? Probably not:

• Rainforest understory

And browse the recent tropical blogging at Phytofactor!

Wants more? Well, next Berry is expected soon! Please volunteer if you feel like, you’re welcome to too!

Late edit: forgot this submission, about Larchness monster.
