#DesiccationTolerance
I am looking forward to sharing a bit of our research on #seeds and #desiccationtolerance in the first WALII Symposium!🤩🧐🤓🌱
#plantresearch #plantscifyi
Meet the speakers of the very first inaugural WALII Symposium: Exploring Life Without Water, happening Tuesday, Nov 18! 💧

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!👇🏾🌱🧐

Thanks Femke! Happy that our manuscript has sparked interesting thoughts! Our 'out of the seed hypothesis' links seed development & #plasticity, and we're now exploring how these young genes are involved in survival traits such as #desiccationtolerance evolution! More interesting research soon!

Decoupling to survive…💦

Petruzzellis et al. provide evidence for decoupled water potential between myco- and photobionts as a key adaptation allowing lichens to tolerate desiccation by prolonging #photosynthesis 🔆

So… could drying itself act as a developmental signal? 🤔
6 years ago, this question kept me up at night, now our findings opened up so many more 😅🤯🧐🤩
