"To analyze the charms of flowers is like dissecting music; it is one of those things which it is far better to enjoy than to attempt to understand.” [Henry Tuckerman, 1853] “The project will track cell-by-cell changes in the mustard plant's meristem - the tissue in which cells actively divide and then differentiate into specialized cells. With fluorescent proteins marking specific cell types in specially designed transgenic plants, researchers will be able to trace the development of leaves and flowers.” [NSF Press Release, 2003]
