Check out the December 2025 issue of The Plant Cell from @ASPB @OxUniPress! academic.oup.com/plcell/issu… #PlantSci
Happy New Year✨️, already a busy one teaching #SeedScience & on our new @cropxr course on #ClimateResilientCrops 🌱
Being back with students is a great reminder of how curiosity matters in science.
Some reflections on my journey in a Botany One interview
botany.one/2025/11/mariana-s…
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!👇🏾🌱
Thank you to everyone who made our inaugural WALII Symposium: Exploring Life Without Water a success! 🎉
Videos from some of our 4 Invited Speakers and 12 Contributed Speakers are now available on our YouTube channel!

It's been a learning and exciting journey to us, filled with fun and passion for science. This work is a proof of this! 🤓🤩 #seedresearch
And a great In Brief highlighting our work! As a former AFE of Plant Cell myself, I wouldn't imagine my first manuscript as a PI would be published and highlighted in the same journal!
How much more special can this be?

Special thanks to Leónie Bentsink for her mentorship, the anonymous reviewers for their constructive feedback, NWO or funding my Veni project, and our awesome colleagues from the Laboratory of Plant Physiology @WUR
I am looking forward to sharing a bit of our research on #seeds and #desiccationtolerance in the first WALII Symposium!🤩🧐🤓🌱

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on your phylotranscriptomic analysis of the seed life cycle, with a focus on the (still overlooked, but not for too long🧐😉) seed maturation phase!
