Epigraph: Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants (Minneapolis, MN: Milkweed Editions, 2013), 9.
The discussion here focuses on plants that reproduce via seeds. However, some plants, for example, ferns and some mosses, reproduce via spores, whereas others reproduce asexually or clonally through vegetative regeneration from stems, rhizomes (underground stems), bulbs, or tubers; Simon Lei, “Benefits and Costs of Vegetative and Sexual Reproduction in Perennial Plants: A Review of Literature,” Journal of the Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science 42 (2010): 9–14.

Barak, et al., “We Do Not Want to ‘Cure Plant Blindness’ We Want to Grow Plant Love,” Plants, People, Planet 1, no. 3 (2019): 139–141. Balding and Williams describe “plant blindness” as a “bias” against plants. Their discussion inspired my use of the term “plant bias,” as well as my suggestion that decreasing plant bias should lead to increased plant awareness.

This bending phenomenon, known as phototropism, was noted in Darwin’s treatise on plants: Charles Darwin, The Power of Movement in Plants (London: John Murray, 1880), 449. It is controlled by the hormone auxin and has been studied experimentally for a long time, including relatively early work by Briggs and colleagues: Winslow R. Briggs, Richard D. Tocher, and James F. Wilson, “Phototropic Auxin Redistribution in Corn Coleoptiles,” Science 126, no. 3266 (1957): 210–212.

Sun-tracking plants are thought to rotate their leaves and flowers to follow the sun in order to maximize exposure to sunlight or to promote pollinator visits. See M. P. M. Dicker, J. M. Rossiter, I.

The movement of petioles to reposition leaves upward is known as hyponasty, whereas downward movement of leaves is called epinasty; these process are regulated by plant hormones such as ethylene and auxin; Jae Young Kim, Young-Joon Park, June-Hee Lee, and Chung-Mo Park, “Developmental Polarity Shapes Thermo-Induced Nastic Movements in Plants,” Plant Signaling & Behavior 14, no. 8 (2019): 1617609.

Light-dependent hyponasty, similar to temperature-dependent hyponasty, is driven by changes in cellular turgor pressure or differential growth on one surface of a plant organ, in this case mediated by hormones including ethylene (especially for petioles) and auxin; Joanna K.

Changes in energy distribution that occur when a plant is shaded involve a number of hormones, including auxins, which contribute to differential growth, and cytokinins, which arrest leaf development to free up energy resources for growth of stems and petioles. Ethylene and brassinosteroids promote petiole elongation under shade in some plants, whereas abscissic acid inhibits branching. See Diederik H.

Although there is a general assumption that altruism among kin occurs due to increasing the possibility of passing on one’s genes, it is the increased possibility of passing on specific genes, referred to as survival genes or altruism genes, that drives kin selection, rather than bulk gene flow that would include many genes neutral to survival; Justin H.

The lesser degree of severity during secondary succession refers to a lesser impact on the environment compared to primary succession, rather than the impact on individuals. Devastating forest fires can result in complete displacement and homelessness for animals and humans, which is certainly felt as a severe disturbance to those involved.

It appears that energy is invested in synthesizing anthocyanins at a time when it would seem prudent to limit energy spent on making new compounds because of their role in screening plant cells from phototoxicity during degreening; Feild et al., “Why Leaves Turn Red in Autumn”; Primka and Smith, “Synchrony in Fall Leaf Drop.”

I use the term “minoritized” for people or groups who “as a result of social constructs have less power or representation compared to other members or groups in society”; the term “minority” can simply indicate being smaller in number, rather than reflecting a systematic structure related to histories of oppression, exclusion, or other inequities.

Recent research and discussion have highlighted the need for culturally relevant practices in mentoring and leadership. Such practices recognize that individuals come from different backgrounds, with distinct cultural norms and practices. Mentors and leaders often have to increase their cultural competence to effectively support individuals from a broad range of different cultures; Torie Weiston-Serdan, Critical Mentoring: A Practical Guide (Sterling, VA: Stylus, 2017), 44; Angela Byars-Winston, “Toward a Framework for Multicultural STEM-Focused Career Interventions,” Career Development Quarterly 62, no. 4 (2014): 340–357; Beronda L.
