Flowers unfold with surprising precision, despite unruly genes

A new Cornell study shows that even in this precise, patterned formation in plants, gene activity inside individual cells is more chaotic than it appears from the outside.
This finding has important implications for plant engineering, where scientists design artificial gene switches to control growth or behavior.
Understanding how plants manage genetic "noise" could also inform research in other fields, from synthetic biology to cancer.
