☀️🍃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
