What happens inside a seed before we can see the first root? During European Researchers’ Night on 25 September 2026, PrimSeedPower connected with the public to share the science behind seed priming and plant resilience.
Visitors were introduced to the idea that a controlled treatment before sowing can influence the way seeds germinate and seedlings respond to challenging conditions. Interactive activities helped turn laboratory concepts into accessible questions about drought, salinity and the future of sustainable agriculture. Events like Researchers’ Night are an important part of PrimSeedPower’s mission: making research understandable, inviting people to ask questions, and inspiring the next generation of scientists.
