International Day of Women and Girls in Science 👩‍🔬💚 Our Researcher @diana_moreira8 participated in the celebration of this day at @ciencias_fcup
FCUP | Faculdade de Ciências da U.Porto@ciencias_fcupFeb 11
Hoje, no Dia Internacional das Mulheres e Meninas na Ciência, damos voz a investigadoras e docentes que partilharam uma frase que as tentou limitar e a conquista científica que alcançaram apesar dela. Porque o talento não tem género. E a ciência ganha quando todos têm espaço. 🩵

New preprint on bioRxiv 🌱 We show that Ca²⁺ binding by arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) is essential for male fertility and successful double fertilisation in Arabidopsis. GLCAT mutants reveal AGPs as functional apoplastic Ca²⁺ stores. #PlantReproduction #CellWall #Calcium
