Pnas10940toc 3..9 October 2, 2012 u vol. 109 u no. 40 u 15967–16394 Cover image: Pictured are hair-like structures known as trichomes on a tomato leaf. Trichomes coat the surfaces of many plants and produce a variety of specialized chemicals, some of which help protect plants from insects and herbivores. Anthony L. Schilmiller et al. identified an enzyme expressed in the tip cell of long trichomes that participates in the synthesis of protective acyl sugars secreted to the surface of tomato plants. According to the authors, the findings could help researchers develop pest-resistant plants. See the article by Schilmiller et al. on pages 16377–16382. Image courtesy of Anthony L. Schilmiller.

  • E. Michael Fincke (Colonel, U.S
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center Houston, Texas 77058 April 2021 E. Michael Fincke (Colonel, U.S. Air Force, Ret.) NASA Astronaut Summary: E. Michael Fincke was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1996. The Pennsylvania native is the veteran of three spaceflights, Expedition 9 in 2004, Expedition 18 in 2009, and STS-134 in 2011. For Expedition 9, Fincke served as Science Officer and Flight Engineer during his six-month stay onboard the International Space Station. While there, he performed four spacewalks. For Expedition 18, Fincke served as Commander, where he and his crew prepared the station for future six-person crews. For STS-134, he served as Mission Specialist and completed three spacewalks. Col. Fincke has logged more than a year in orbit, with nine space walks. After working with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program to develop and bring two new crewed spacecraft online, the Space-X Crew Dragon and the Boeing CST-100 Starliner, Fincke was selected to serve as the Joint Operations Commander on the first crewed experimental test flight of the Starliner. Riding on the Atlas V launch vehicle, this will be Mike’s third rocket and spacecraft combination to orbit. He is currently preparing for his fourth spaceflight, scheduled to launch to the International Space Station later this year. Personal Data: Born March 14, 1967, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but considers Emsworth, Pennsylvania, to be his hometown. Married to the former Renita Saikia of Houston, Texas. They have three children. In addition to time with his family, Col. Fincke enjoys travel, geology, astronomy, learning new languages and reading.
