title: Green with underappreciation.
abstract: "What do cells, genes, transposons, telomeres, RNA silencing and DNA recombination have in common? They were all discovered in plants." This is how Rob Martienssen emphasizes the contributions of plant research. We asked plant scientists whether their field is getting adequate support and proper recognition and heard a resounding "no."
