Happily sharing our latest work published in @Nature: https://t.co/59X5Dicz8G
How does #soil texture influence #plant#water stress and #ecosystem vulnerability to #drought on a #global scale?
:) Thanks to a fantastic team of co-authors ... (see below 👇)
New paper by @AcerFeng with @FultonRockwell and Shmuel Assouline about water loss from bagged leaves.
Important read for those who store bagged leaves befor measurments.

Pleased to share this paper, now online @NewPhyt, where we look at the genes expressed in fern guard cells, and the functionality of anion channels from the SLAC/SLAH family from ferns and other other diverse plant groups.

@NewPhyt@Scott98373586 @wileyplantsci For more than a century an assumed hydraulics🚿 inside the xylem (≙ “cohesion-tension theory”) has been a controversial subject (below⬇️). Here Manandhar et al. describe - as increase of controversy – hydraulics outside the xylem. This also contradicts physical requirement.😨

NEWS & VIEWS: SOS: Speed of Stomata opening and closing is influenced by vapour pressure deficit (Alexandra J Burgess, José Manuel Ugalde) https://t.co/FQoeQzhoO8 @ASPB#PlantSci
This study was carried out during my fruitful stay at @LifeAtPurdue@PurdueAg in @Scott98373586 laboratory, where he has a long list of very interesting plant specimens. I could explain more, but I don't want to give you spoilers!!! Run and read it! :)
Through measurements of gas exchange from darkness we see how at high atmospheric demand this interaction is lower and the process of stomatal opening is faster...
In it, we evaluated how the mechanical interaction of epidermal cells and guard cells in angiosperms influences the stomatal response to light.
We observed how plants with this interaction respond faster to light at high levels of atmospheric demand than those that do not...
For this purpose, we use plants that cover the evolutionary spectrum, from ferns to angiosperms to gymnosperms.

The first article of my thesis is ready! (🧵...)

The journey of organizing the 6th ´Xylem International Meeting´ (#XIM6) has officially begun in Seville, Spain! ☀️
Stay tuned to @Xylem_Meeting for updates🗓️
Had alot of fun writing this anatomy- physiology crossover with a great team🌳🫧
