Leaves are often described in language that evokes a single shape. However, embedded in that descriptor is a multitude of latent shapes arising from evolutionary, developmental, environmental, and other effects. These confounded effects manifest at distinct developmental time points and evolve at different tempos.

- Flowering plants have adapted over 125 million years to thrive in diverse environments, shaped by interconnected genetic pathways.
- Researchers used topological data analysis (TDA) to effectively analyze complex gene expression data related to plant tissues and stress responses.
- The results show distinct gene expression patterns across different plant types, highlighting core processes essential for plant growth, development, and stress management.
The field of plant science has grown dramatically in the past two decades, but global disparities and systemic inequalities persist. Here, we analyzed ~300,000 papers published over the past two decades to quantify disparities across nations, genders, and taxonomy in the plant science literature. Our analyses reveal striking geographical biases-affluent nations dominate the publishing landscape and vast areas of the globe have virtually no footprint in the literature.
