Have you ever caught yourself awake at night thinking: “If water is essential for life, how can seeds survive losing almost all of it?” 💦🚫🌱 Good news! In our new preprint, we start to uncover some answers 👉🏾 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.28.721260v1

New year, already a busy one teaching #SeedScience & on our new @cropxr.bsky.social course on #ClimateResilientCrops 🌱 Being back with students is a great reminder of how curiosity matter in science. Some reflections on my journey in an interview with @botany.one Happy New Year & fresh starts!✨ https://botany.one/2025/11/mariana-s-artur-i-always-wish-i-had-a-pocket-sized-microscope/

In the WALII Symposium I provided insights of how our recent research on #seedmaturation #phylotranscriptomics is helping us to explore the link between seed #development & plasticity, including regulation and #evolution of #desiccationtolerance. The recording link is below!👇🏾🌱🧐 #plantscifyi [contains quote post or other embedded content]
