Farmers and researchers prime seeds to get an even germination. Now researchers from the Netherlands show in New Phytologist that priming puts the available mRNA in the translation starting blocks. Read more about this study on my blog plantenzo.net/2025/04/08/s... 🧪 #PlantScience

Our research published in @newphyt.bsky.social titled "Unravelling the dynamics of seed‐stored mRNAs during seed priming" (nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....) explores how hydropriming affects mRNA dynamics, enhancing germination but reducing longevity. Thanks to all my co-authors!
