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!🎉💪🏾✨️🙌🏾

SeedMatExplorer: The transcriptome atlas of Arabidopsis seed maturation Seed maturation is a critical developmental phase during which seeds acquire essential traits for nutritional value and desiccation survival. Abscisic acid (ABA) signalling has long been recognized as...

Fresh PRE-PRINT!🚨🧐
We present SeedMatExplorer: an extensive transcriptome atlas underlying the acquisition of multiple seed quality traits during Arabidopsis seed maturation.🌱
