From the Biden family to yours, happy #LunarNewYear. We wish you happiness, health, and prosperity in the Year of the Ox.

How does fertilization induced seed and fruit formation? Our study of the 'inside-out' fruit of strawberry has much to offer. The work is published in Nature Communications. nature.com/articles/s4146…
