Drying kinetics govern transcriptional and post-transcriptional reprogramming during seed maturation

Asif Ahmed Sami, Leo A. J. Willems, Lukman Abdulroheem, Marie‐Christine Carpentier, Rémy Merret, Leónie Bentsink, Mariana A S Artur

This study investigates how different drying rates during seed maturation affect transcriptional and post-transcriptional changes in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing that slow drying enhances desiccation tolerance through distinct molecular mechanisms.

The angiosperm seed life cycle follows a developmental reverse hourglass

Asif Ahmed Sami, Leónie Bentsink, Mariana A S Artur

The paper analyzes the phylotranscriptomic patterns across the Arabidopsis seed life cycle and finds a reverse hourglass pattern, with seed maturation showing increased expression of younger genes.
