A closer look at our greenhouse science

This week’s photos take us into the greenhouse, where sunflowers and hands-on plant work are part of the lab’s research routine.
Growing plants in an experimental setting lets us connect the traits we can see—growth, leaves, flowers—with questions about the chemistry and biology behind them. Keeping those experiments running takes careful plant care and attention to the details of each project.
A glimpse from the greenhouse is a reminder that our work moves between living plants, laboratory measurements, and data analysis. Each part helps us understand the others.
