Canvas Print : Fasciation
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Fasciation
Fasciation in a woolly chamomile flower head (Anthemis tomentosa). Fasiciation is a condition in which the growing tip (apical meristem) of a plant becomes elongated, producing flattened, broadened or contorted tissue. It may be caused by a genetic mutation in the meristematic cells, bacterial infection or insect attack. It is also initiated by mechanical or chemical means, such as damage from frost action or hoeing. Photographed in Greece, in April

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the phenomenon of fasciation in a woolly chamomile flower head (Anthemis tomentosa). Fasciation refers to a condition where the growing tip, or apical meristem, of a plant becomes elongated and produces flattened, broadened, or contorted tissue. This particular case may have been caused by various factors such as genetic mutation, bacterial infection, insect attack, mechanical damage from frost action or hoeing, or even chemical means. Photographed in Greece during April against the stunning backdrop of the European coast, this image captures nature's intricate beauty and resilience. The coastal botanical perennial wildflower displays its white and yellow petals amidst its distorted and deformed structure. The mutated growth creates an enchanting spectacle that is both fascinating and visually striking. The photograph not only highlights the biological aspect of fasciation but also emphasizes the significance of genetics in shaping plant morphology. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly perfect natural environments like Greece's Mediterranean region, mutations can occur resulting in malformed structures like this woolly chamomile flower head. With its rayed petals and contorted form standing out against vibrant spring foliage, this image offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate nature's ability to adapt and thrive despite challenges. It invites us into the world of angiosperms – flowering plants – showcasing their diversity while sparking curiosity about their genetic makeup.
