These little ones earned their place! 🌱 These Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) seedlings spent their entire first winter outside, exposed to frost and cold just like the adult plants. And they made it! Already producing their first proper traps, complete with those characteristic interlocking teeth. Growing carnivorous plants from seed takes patience — it can be years before they reach full size — but watching them push through their first dormancy is incredibly rewarding.

Deze kleintjes hebben het verdiend! 🌱 Deze zaailingen van de Venus vliegenval (Dionaea muscipula) hebben hun eerste volledige winter buiten doorgebracht, blootgesteld aan vorst en kou net als de volwassen planten. En ze hebben het overleefd! Ze maken al hun eerste echte vallen, compleet met de karakteristieke tanden. Vleesetende planten kweken uit zaad vraagt om geduld — het kan jaren duren voor ze volgroeid zijn — maar ze door hun eerste winterrust zien komen is ontzettend bevredigend.

The Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) have made it through winter once again! 🌱 After months of dormancy, new traps are already opening up and ready for action. The characteristic toothed lobes and that subtle red blush inside are a sign of a healthy, well-rested plant. Dormancy is essential for these carnivores — without a proper cold rest period, they gradually weaken over time. Worth the wait every year!

De Venus vliegenvallen (Dionaea muscipula) hebben de winter weer goed doorstaan! 🌱 Na maanden van winterrust staan er al nieuwe vallen open en klaar voor gebruik. De karakteristieke getande lobben en dat subtiele rode blosje aan de binnenkant zijn een teken van een gezonde, uitgeruste plant. Winterrust is essentieel voor deze vleeseters — zonder een goede koude rustperiode verzwakken ze geleidelijk. Elk jaar opnieuw het wachten waard!

Scientists elucidate molecular mechanisms behind dinoflagellate cyst dormancy

Dinoflagellates play crucial roles in aquatic ecosystems, particularly as major contributors to harmful algal blooms. They can enter a dormant stage, known as the resting cyst stage, that allows them to survive for extended periods—up to 150 years—in marine sediments. This dormancy is essential for their annual population dynamics, blooming cycles, and geographic expansion.

Sleeping bacteria: New study uncovers mechanisms of dormancy involving protein aggregation

Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research have revealed a mechanism involving protein aggregation that allows bacteria to enter a dormant state, a phenomenon that is associated with the persistence of infections and the challenge of antibiotic resistance. Their study is published in the journal Nature Communications.

Most Life on Earth is Dormant, After Pulling an ‘Emergency Brake’
Many microbes and cells are in deep sleep, waiting for the right moment to activate. Biologists discovered a widespread protein that abruptly shuts down a cell’s activity — and turns it back on just as fast.

"Bears hibernate. Herpes viruses lysogenize. Worms form a dauer stage. Insects enter diapause. Amphibians aestivate. Birds go into torpor. All of these are words for the exact same thing: a dormant state that organisms can reverse when conditions are favorable."

It's about survival...Fascinating discovery. Now, take a nap!

"Researchers recently reported the discovery of a natural protein, named Balon, that can bring a cell’s production of new proteins to a screeching halt. Balon was found in bacteria that hibernate in Arctic permafrost, but it also seems to be made by many other organisms and may be an overlooked mechanism for dormancy throughout the tree of life."
