Diversity and inclusion are core values of the Botanical Society of America. 
Stranger Plants celebrates some of the strangest plants we love, with bold illustrations created by BSA’s own Catrina Adams. Each shirt features plant artwork on the front and a “concert-style” back listing all featured species by their common and scientific names. These shirts come in the retro colorblock tee with 5 different sleeve color options. The shirts are made from sustainable materials and manufactured with environmentally conscious practices.
In addition to Stranger Plants shirts, the store also includes cozy #IamaBotanist beanies and classic BSA logo apparel seen above and available in several colors for each style. |

Botany360 is a community event calendar that highlights events happening during the 360 days outside of the Botany Conferences. The goal of this program is to connect the plant science community throughout the year with professional development, discussion sessions, and networking and social opportunities. Recordings to some events will be available on the Botany360 webpage.

APPS AND AJB SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS
“New Perspectives from the Genealogy of Flagellate Plants (GoFlag)”
Proposal Submission Deadline: April 1, 2026
Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) and the American Journal of Botany (AJB) are accepting proposals for joint special issues highlighting new resources and advances resulting from the Genealogy of Flagellate Plants (GoFlag) project. The GoFlag project’s goal is to build and support community resources to construct a phylogenetic history of the flagellate land plants (including bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns, and all gymnosperms), both living and extinct, and to use and integrate the resulting inferences to better understand organismal evolution, plant systematics, and environmental data. The resulting data, including the GoFlag probe set, have transformed evolutionary studies within the flagellate land plants. To recognize and promote these research advances, methodological innovations, and new perspectives on the genealogy of flagellate land plants, we are seeking papers for joint special issues of APPS and AJB to present the new findings, methods, and resources facilitated by the GoFlag project.

APPS SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS
“Plant genome skimming: Special uses and future potential”
Proposal Submission Deadline Extended to May 15, 2026
Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is accepting proposals for a special issue: “Plant genome skimming: Special uses and future potential.” Genome skimming is used to efficiently obtain high-copy-number genomic sequences, such as organellar genomes and repetitive nuclear elements, as well as single-copy nuclear DNA, from a biological sample. Recent improvements in sequencing technology mean that cost-effective sequencing can now be performed at greater depth, allowing large parts of the nuclear genome to be assembled from genome skimming data. Genome skimming has found uses including phylogenetics, phylogeography, metagenomics, pathogen diagnostics, biodiversity assessments, and eDNA surveys. This special issue will highlight new approaches, tools, databases, software, and pipelines for use in acquiring and analyzing genome skimming data.
