Ethiopian wolves surprise scientists by sipping flower nectar! These endangered predators may double as pollinators in Ethiopia's Bale Mountains, revealing unexpected connections in highland ecosystems. wp.me/pdRZhH-lGR #Botany #PlantScience 🧪
An Ethiopian wolf, that looks a lot like a fox, licking the orange-to-gold inflorescence of a plant.

🌱 From the International Journal of Molecular Sciences: Walnut reveals melanin as a redox defense system. Dual PPO enzymes turn phenolic oxidation into protective pigment, linking metabolism and stress resilience. (Abhaya M. Dandekar, Sriema L. Walawage) ▶️ www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/27... #PlantScience
Staining of human skin through contact with wounded walnut tissues (left) and PPO activity assays from hull tissues (right). The juices from the disrupted walnut hull tissues will stain human skin (left), a hallmark of manual walnut hull removal, which is minimally removed by washing and only reverts to normal by replacement with new skin cells. The same reaction is observed on native polyacrylamide gels (right) when assaying for PPO activity. Total protein (10 μg) extracted from hull tissues is used for in-gel tyrosinase staining and was the means by which JrPPO1 was originally discovered. Lane A shows the pure mushroom tyrosinase control, while lanes B and C show extracts from the hull epidermal tissue and cortical tissue, respectively.

It’s Fascination with Plants Day! I wrote an entire book about why plants are so amazing & endlessly intriguing! Pollination, defense, dispersal, CAM, epiphytism, succulence, carnivory, parasitism, etc. It's all here. Available from your favorite bookseller. #plantday #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪🌱
