Researchers pioneered in continuously monitoring the stem flow inside a plant through this wearable electronic sensing device which can harmlessly cohabitate with the plant. Meanwhile, they found that fruit growth and photosynthesis are not synchronized, which not only alters people’s long-standing perception of the plant’s growth and development process but also opens the door to new technologies in high-yield crop breeding and cultivation.
This study was published in the March 9 issue of the journal Advanced Science.

Though Black faculty members have been part of the Penn State community for over 60 years, âthe challenges facing Black faculty are no less formidableâ in 2021, according to the second âMore Rivers To Crossâ report.
As a follow-up to the first report published in January 2020, biobehavioral health professor Gary King and an independent group of Black faculty members published part two of âMore Rivers To Crossâ on March 25.
The 2020 report, which was 93 pages long, examined issues of representation at Penn State and the âracially biasedâ responses from students on Student Rating of Teacher Effectiveness surveys.
