Mucilaginous seeds – nanostructure encapsulated in hydrogel
In their research on the biological role of the seed mucus coat, dr hab. Agnieszka Kreitschitz from the Department of Plant Development Biology at the University of Wrocław and prof. Stanislav Gorb from the
University of Kiel (Germany), saw for the first time the exact structure of the mucus at the nanoscale and tested the hypothesis, which had been repeated for years, of the supporting role of mucus in the spread of seeds eaten by animals. Seed mucus as a natural hydrogel is used, among other things, in the food and pharmaceutical industries as well as in bioengineering and medicine.

Gaia22dkvLb – a planet with future prospects
Recent research has focused on Gaia22dkvLb, a newly discovered exoplanet found through microlensing by an international team of scientists, of which mgr Przemysław Mikołajczyk from the Atronomical Institute at the University of Wrocław, is a member. The exoplanet Gaia22dkvLb can also be observed using the radial velocity measurement technique – something rarely achievable for these microlensing worlds.

Discovering the secrets of holly: can Polish plants be a substitute for yerba mate?
A team of scientists , including dr inż. Jakub Szperlik from the Tissue Cultures Laboratory of the Botanical Garden at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, decided to test whether the holly species available in Poland have fatty acid contents and profiles similar to those known for their subtropical counterpart. The results of their study were published in the journal Molecules
