Scientists have used powerful molecular analysis tools to map the hidden machinery controlling how seeds develop, go dormant, and sprout — discoveries that could help breed crops better suited to a changing climate.
1
Seeds supply approximately 70% of the global food supply, making their resilience to climate stress a critical food security issue.
2
Single-cell and spatial analysis technologies revealed previously unknown cell types and tissue-specific control mechanisms within seeds.
3
Key molecular networks — including phosphorylation signaling, metabolic shifts, and hormone activity — were identified as central regulators of dormancy and germination.
