si, el coquí es emblemático de Puerto Rico y está en peligro de extinción, pero el protagonista de mi album no es un coquí, ES EL SAPO CONCHO; una especie también nativa de Puerto Rico y en peligro de extinción.

¡¡¡CONCHO!!!

Only 20 minutes is needed for anther opening in #Arabidopsis! Timelapse done by a vertical spinning-disk microscopy on flowers attached to plants. Specific desiccation of anther tissue vs. a fully watered filaments is clearly visible.

Stomata are involved in sporangia dehiscence in flowering plant! very cool

[Stanislav Vosolsobě @SVosolsobe]

#PREPRINT A century of debate: Is anther opening a passive or plant-regulated process? My PhD student @AKampova showed: stomata-driven desiccation induces very fast PCD in anther walls, which complete the job! Thanks to collabs @matesakf and @MoritzNowack

Happy to announce the main outcome of my PhD Internship based at @Museum_Cardiff last year. Here, we aim to showcase the usefulness of bryophyte herbarium specimens in containing rare bryophilous fungi inadvertently collected with them

Muestrear briofitas en palabras de David Horcajada es (@feelsdaviz):

"Sí, hablamos de esas excursiones en las que se avanzan aproximadamente 10 m en 2 horas, si es que se las puede llamar así".

Ya ha pasado un poco de tiempo, pero por aquí os dejo el link al vídeo donde tuve la oportunidad de hablar de hepáticas talosas ibero-macaronésicas. ¡Muchas gracias a los organizadores por invitarme!
