Unravelling the dynamics of seed‐stored mRNAs during seed priming Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment that enables more efficient and uniform seed germination; however, it negatively affects seed longevity. In this work, the mRNA dynamics underlying a hydroprim...

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!

Co-optation of Transcription Factors Drives Evolution of Quantitative Disease Resistance Against a Necrotrophic Pathogen. Wild relatives of crop species possess diverse levels of quantitative disease resistance (QDR) to biotic stresses, yet the genomic and regulatory mechanisms underlying these differences are poorly und...

A big thank you to my wonderful advisors on the project, @christatesterink.bsky.social, Christiaan Biemond, and Nikita Sajeev, for their support and guidance. Can’t wait to get started on this journey!

Thrilled to receive the Stage 1 Road to Innovation Grant from @w-u-r.bsky.social! I’ll lead a 6-month project to develop a prototype for a salt prediction tool, using advanced plant physiology data combined with AI and validate its market potential.

Yes, this technique can also be used to measure P.

Thanks for sharing it with your group! Glad you found it interesting.

Big thanks to all the co-authors—this wouldn’t have been possible without you: Pinelopi Kokkinopoulou, Silvia Bugallo Alfageme, Cheuk Ka Leong, Zewu Chen, @christatesterink.bsky.social, and Antony van der Ent.

Quantitative light element (sodium and potassium) profiling in plant tissues using monochromatic X-ray fluorescence analysis Accurately determining the elemental composition of plant tissues is essential for physiological studies on plant stress, including salinity tolerance. However, high-throughput routine analysis of lig...

New Preprint!
Excited to share our method for profiling light elements in plant tissues using XRF. Fast, cost-effective, and no extraction needed—perfect for stress-related studies in plants.
