PLANT OF THE WEEK
Dr. T. Ombrello - UCC Biology Department
FASCINATING FASCIATED PLANTS
Nature makes "mistakes" all the time, producing animals and plants that are different from typical members of their species. Many of these "mistakes" are called mutations, and have a genetic basis that can be passed on to future generations. Mutations that provide a favorable adaptation can become incorporated over time into most if not all of the members of a species. Unfavorable or non-adaptive mutations are often eliminated from a population. This natural selection process by nature is the driving force behind evolution.
One interesting type of mistake that is occasionally found in plants is known as a fasciated or crested growth form. It is usually the result of a growing point changing from a round dome of cells into a crescent shape. Subsequent growth produces a flat stem. In some cases fasciation is the result of several embryonic growing points fusing together, with the same flat-stem appearance.
Fasciated stems look strange. Leaves, flowers, and fruits often develop unusual shapes and appear at odd angles to the stem. Some, looking like hand-held fans, have led to the descriptive term "crested". Nature usually eliminates fasciated tissues. Branches or even whole plants with this condition are overshadowed by normal branches or plants of the species, and do not last long.
Humans are fascinated by fasciated plants. Their unusual shapes make them prized by many in horticulture. Most can be perpetuated by vegetative propagation, and are designated as cultivars of the species. Some noteworthy examples are: crested saguaro cactus, fasciated Japanese cedar, and fantail willow. Less frequently, the fasciation is carried from generation to generation by seed, with the fasciation only manifesting itself in the flowers and subsequent fruit. Some examples would include crested cockscomb celosias and beefsteak tomatoes. (If you have ever wondered why beefsteak tomatoes have such unusual shapes, look at their flowers and you will readily see why).
What causes plants to produce fasciated stems? For the most part, we just don't know. Fasciation has been induced experimentally by applications of plant hormones, severe pruning, wounding, and atypical day lengths. Most, however, appear by chance with no obvious cause.
Rarely does a year go by without my discovering fasciated stems on wild and domesticated plants. Recent finds have included dandelion, asparagus, raspberry, black-eyed susan, and the tree of heaven (Ailanthus). If you look carefully you will see them too. Finding these fascinating fasciations offers small but intriguing rewards for observing nature.

I don't think so, I saw her on another thread.
I don't think it's that and have never experienced that with MJ....yet!
Nice, faciated plants, plants that have had a face plant....nice link Doobs, the pics only appeared when I quoted...http://faculty.ucc.edu/biology-ombrello/pow/fasciated_plants.htm

The two times I had it in my bud it was either a Skunk #1 from white label, or medicine man from mr nice, and the one I just had was a super lemon haze.

That's some weirdness.
I'd be askeert ta smoke it.
Nahhhh... I'd light that witch up and draw deep.
See what happens.
Might give me super powers.
You'll all have to call me "Fasciated Ganja Man".
"Captain Mutagenic Chronic".
... or...
"The Green Freak".
My power would be having the aility to LST my enemies, and my speacial weapon would be shooting scrog screens out of my eyes to ensnare all foes of Truth, Justice, and The Ganja Way...

Then you should be more sensitive to the fact that we take things too seriously sometimes.
It's not our fault: we were born this way.

got no time for fun n games. PC shit is a two way street. I'm sure everyone does shit that others think is ignorant all the time. I don't dwell on it much. Like I'm saying though, when you single a group of people out, and start calling them differently able, or whatever "special" people are going to just abuse those new terms anyway. Ever hear someone call someone who is just an idiot "special"? IDK, there are people who were born with issues that some people are going to poke fun at, or whatever. Normally people grow out of it. I don't call people with mental issues retarded though. I call idiots retarded as doobie pointed out.

I've got a duel with Connor MacLeod at dawn.
His head will roll across the bonny heathers, and hill & dale will run red with his blood by sun up.

Was a good one, for sure.
I don't mind sequels, but they have to be done properly, which seems to be near impossible.
The only thing I wasn't totally fond of was a frenchy playing a Scot.... again (damn those conniving frogs!).

My dad is a total sci fi nerd and is always watching this stuff. All while I was a kid he was baked taking me to movies like this. When they redid the starwars movies in the 90s we went to every one.
