Russian scientists have brought a flower back to life after 32,000 years, using seeds preserved in Siberian permafrost by an Ice Age squirrel. The plant—Silene stenophylla, also known as narrow-leafed campion—now holds the record as the oldest living organism ever regenerated from ancient tissue.

The discovery traces back to 2007, when researchers unearthed a frozen Arctic ground squirrel’s burrow 124 feet beneath the permafrost near the Kolyma River in northeastern Siberia. Inside, the squirrel had stashed seeds and fruits in underground chambers, frozen in time alongside bones of mammoths, bison, and woolly rhinos from the Late Pleistocene.

Radiocarbon dating revealed the plant material was 31,800 years old—nearly 30,000 years older than the previous record holder, a 2,000-year-old date palm seed found at Masada in Israel. When the mature seeds failed to sprout, the scientists used tissue culture techniques instead.

They successfully grew 36 plants from placental tissue inside three immature fruits. In the lab, the ancient plants thrived—producing white flowers and fertile seeds with a perfect 100% germination rate, outperforming modern counterparts which average 90%.

Interestingly, the Ice Age plants had longer, more widely spaced petals compared to modern versions. The cause of these differences is still unknown, but they may reflect a long-lost phenotype from a colder world.
