Indeed, very proud to see this work finally published. Nymphaea is such a gorgeous system for studying seed evo-devo, and I feel incredibly lucky to have led this project. Huge thanks to all colleagues involved. Hoping this is just the start — excited to keep pushing this line of research further.
It's great to see this work finally out! @newphyt.bsky.social
Here we showed that auxin production after fertilization is a conserved, paternal-triggered mechanism for seed initiation in angiosperms.
🎉 Congrats to @duartedf.bsky.social on receiving an ERC grant for his project NoSexSeed! 🌱 His goal? Enabling crops to reproduce pollen-free 🌍 #ERCCoG

Proud to share my latest work! As part of my
AvH Foundation funded postdoc - with new data from #nymphaea #pine #amborella - aimed as a resource paper that dives into the evolution of seed nourishing tissues. Open to discussion - reach out if interested! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
