We made it to the cover!🤩🌱⏳️ Really proud of this work and of our PhD candidate @Asif! 🥹 The first manuscript of the first PhD candidate of my group, featured in the cover of the December 2025 issue of @theplantcell.bsky.social! Yay!🎉💪🏾✨️🙌🏾 #plantresearch #seedresearch #seedmaturation #evolution

ECR's: if you want to take part in the 3rd Early Career Plant Researchers Network Meeting remind the deadline, which is on 23rd January www.plant-ecr-networking.eu

🧵 Just out in Cell after more than 10 years in the making! 🎓 www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... Plants and animals evolve radically different body plans. Do they also operate under fundamentally different molecular evolutionary constraints during organ formation? @cellpress.bsky.social

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!✨

We just released a new version of MINI-EX, our tool to infer cell-type specific gene regulatory networks in plants starting from single-cell RNA-Seq data. MINI-EX v3.2 can now be run on large datasets of over 100,000 cells! More info here: github.com/VIB-PSB/MINI...

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

So special to have you there @kaisakajala.bsky.social! My ex-supervisor, still mentor, and forever role model! 👸 Thanks so so much! 🤗🌱✨️
