La Universidad de Oviedo hace eco de nuestro artículo más reciente sobre como el contenido de aceites de las semillas influye negativamente su longevidad.
Las montañas guardan secretos microscópicos. 🏔️🔬 Un estudio de la Universidad de Oviedo revela que el contenido de aceite en las semillas de plantas de alta montaña influye en su longevidad.

Third PhD paper alert!
Just published in Plant Biology available at onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
We explored the functional trade-offs and ecological correlates of seed oil traits by examining seed oil patterns in 47 alpine species. (1/5)

For my second PhD paper, we found significant intraspecific variation in germination base water potential along local microclimatic gradients. Seeds from drier sites germinated better under drought.
