Check our latest preprint, by Juan Baca Cabrera .

Juan collected root hydraulic data from the literature & compiled it into a shared database (https://roothydraulic-properties.shinyapps.io/database).

Juan then analysed the main factors driving changes in root system scale hydraulic conductivity, across different plant functional types. The main ones?

Age, drought, aquaporins & measurement techniques.

Find out more in the preprint @biorxivpreprint https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.06.570353v1

(pst, there also some modelling in it ;) )

I am over the moon to learned my #ERC-CoG project, DROOGHT, is financed !

Many thanks 🙏 to the European Research Council for enabling me to spend the next 5-years looking at #wheat 🌾 #roots, their #hydraulics and their contribution to more resilient #agroecosystems 🚜 !

Want to know more about the project? We will share all our finding, codes , data with the community (#openscience rules!) as soon as possible! Stay tuned at http://www.drooght.science (nothing there yet, but it will come soon ;))

Modelling software hands-on session at the #FSPM23 conference . A great way to end the day after have heard of the different platforms. #cplantbox #groimp #virtualreisling

Very nice presentation of @Valentin @FSPM2023 conf showing us how we can quantify how plant drink water https://figshare.com/articles/presentation/Non-invasive_water_flow_imaging_in_roots_at_cell_resolution_-_FSPM2023/22345204
Non-invasive water flow imaging in roots at cell resolution - FSPM2023

Slides from FSPM2023 talk March 28th 2023 by Valentin Couvreur Abstract:  A key impediment to studying water-related mechanisms in plants is the  inability to non-invasively image water fluxes in cells at high temporal  and spatial resolution. Here, we report that Raman microspectroscopy,  complemented by hydrodynamic modelling, can achieve this goal -  monitoring hydrodynamics within living root tissues at cell- and  sub-second-scale resolutions. Raman imaging of water-transporting xylem  vessels in Arabidopsis thaliana mutant roots reveals faster xylem  water transport in endodermal diffusion barrier mutants. Furthermore,  transverse line scans across the root suggest water transported via the  root xylem does not re-enter outer root tissues nor the surrounding soil  when en-route to shoot tissues if endodermal diffusion barriers are intact, thereby separating ‘two water worlds’.

just registerer to the FSPM 2023 conference in Berlin https://hi.converia.de/frontend/index.php?sub=92

Going there with 9 direct colleagues (@Valentin ) from @fzj and UCLouvain. This is going to be fun !

#chatGPT only speaks the truth 😀 #smartroot

Also, that stuff is scary good sometimes

Hello #Everyone, I am a plant scientist from #FZJuelich and #UCLouvain

We try to better understand how #plant #root take up #water in dry soil using #computational tools.

#Also, I love talking about and #teaching plant biology. I am an #editor @botanyone
