🍃💨Elevated atmospheric #CO₂ drives coordinated but partly decoupled shifts in leaf traits—downregulating #stomatal conductance and photosynthetic biochemistry while increasing photosynthesis in #C3 crops—supporting eco-evolutionary optimality theory doi.org/10.53941/pla...

🌿Leaf #succulents in the Namib Desert maintain high, stable water storage year-round, while non-succulents show strong seasonal declines and osmotic adjustment under drought, with CAM succulents exhibiting the lowest water loss and highest #water-use efficiency. cover paper: doi.org/10.53941/pla...

🌱How do stomata respond to changing environments? Light strongly increases stomatal density & index, while CO₂ and water show weaker effects. #PlantScience #Stomata #ClimateChange #MetaAnalysis #Photosynthesis cover paper： doi.org/10.53941/pla...

☀️🍃C₂ plants are not mere C₃–C₄ intermediates. Distinguishing the 3 types (evolutionary intermediates, stable “super C₂”, & hybrids) is key to understanding their global biogeography, trait diversity & potential for engineering climate‑resilient crops. #C₂plants #Photosynthesis #Stomata

PlantEcophys is announcing a collection together with the XVII Hispano-Portuguese International Symposium on Water Relations, which will take place in Pamplona, Spain, from February 25–27, 2026, organized by the Water Relations Group from the Spanish Plant Biology Society. lnkd.in/p/g-JY345S

New Study: doi.org/10.53941/pla... 🔬 Bulliform cells act as both MOVERS (curling leaves) and SENSORS (detecting water stress). 💡 The moment of curling may reveal drought tolerance secrets! ⚠️ But leaf curl extent isn't a reliable breeding trait. #PlantScience #DroughtTolerance #LeafTurgorLossPoint

🌵 Namib Desert shrubs survive extreme drought via two strategies 💧 Succulents show 2x higher water-loss resistance 🔑 Leaf thickness predicts resilience. See the new research from Byron B. Lamont at: doi.org/10.53941/pla... #PlantScience #leaf-succulents #water-use
