#etiolation

[whats-in-a-sentence]

PIFs promote etiolated development in the dark (skotomorphogenesis) primarily by serving as transcriptional activators of dark-induced genes (Figure 16.13A), and also by repressing some light-induced genes (Figure 16.13B).

Okay, but TR!Etoiles and TR!Sneeg reacting to the old crow being angry at one of them is literally:

TR!Sneeg: THAT B**CH CAN STAY MAD ALL HE WANTS.

marigold, starlight, cycle (for 3 word poetry!)

Perhaps I was grown too early, and that is why I yearn-- and it is not my fault, but the season. It is not that I am weak, but that my leaves are simply reaching towards the promise of the winter sun, distant and beautiful and cold as opal stone. And who could help it if I curl at the edges? Lose myself in the work? I was grown under starlight, not sun, and my flowers are white and wanting as the moon.

The fact that golden goose team is still alive is like so unbelievable to me they came so close both days. The fact they survived past green pandas is just? The opposite of how I thought it would be. GG to all the teams man

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Sunlight inhibits stem growth and stimulates leaf expansion in growing seedlings, two of several light-induced phenotypic changes collectively referred to as photomorphogenesis (Figure 16.2).

[chaotic-neutral-knitter]

every once in a while I'm reminded that there are a lot of people who go through life without aggressively researching everything. I'm like that xkcd comic about geologists thinking everyone knows the chemical formula for quartz except I just assume everyone has late night googled their way to knowing all the common cognitive distortions, reads the wikipedia article for every medication they take, and understands why almost every calico cat is female.
