Another week, another #MeetingPlantScientists! In my latest interview for @botany.one, I speak with @evoyeyo.bsky.social about his research on plant #evolution and diversification in the Andes, a region shared by both his and my home countries.

In one of my latest pieces for @botany.one, I cover exciting research on the physical dormancy of Dodonaea viscosa seeds.
The study shows that some methods used to break this type of dormancy can have harmful, even lethal, effects.

🌱 Coming this Wednesday!
Really excited to share that @botany.one, the official blog of the @annbot.bsky.social, interviewed me about my PhD research, plant-parasitic nematodes, and sustainable approaches to plant health.
More soon 👀
Thanks for the opportunity @caordonezparra.bsky.social!
Remember Nina Bziuk’s recent paper in #SeedScienceResearch? @botany.one has published a post on this exciting research! Take a look to learn more about how accelerated ageing affects the seed microbiome 🦠🫘🔬 doi.org/10.1017/S096...

Happy #PrideMonth! To celebrate, I'm starting a thread of readings on queerness in animals/evolution, and keep adding throughout the month. I'll include a mix of writing for popular audiences as well as some scientific articles and book recommendations! 🧪 🏳️🌈 (1/n)
Nature has ALWAYS been queer! 🌈

Silver nanoparticle seed priming may enhance germination by fine-tuning redox signalling, but dose matters! A review in #SeedScienceResearch examines how low exposure can facilitate seed activation, while excessive silver can hinder germination and establishment.

In Dodonaea viscosa, physical dormancy breaks when a tiny hilar slit opens to let water in. The latest study in #SeedScienceResearch shows hot water is effective, while liquid nitrogen damages seeds, warning against its use for some physically dormant seeds

Botany One interviews Dr Diego Paredes-Burneo, a Peruvian botanist investigating how the extraordinary biodiversity of the Tropical Andes emerged through rapid and complex evolutionary processes.
The latest review in #SeedScienceResearch synthesises current knowledge on seed dormancy and germination ecology in the Solanaceae. It covers embryo form, dormancy-breaking cues, soil seed banks and key research gaps.

Researchers found that ageing Brassica napus seeds lose not only vigour, but also microbial diversity, raising new questions about how we store seeds for the future.
