📢Interested in plant drought resistance and tree mortality?🌳🌿 👥Join us to explore key physiological mechanisms behind these processes! 👨‍🎓We’re seeking strong candidates to apply for a MSCA #Postdoc Fellowship in our team. 🗓️Deadline: 10 Sept 2025 → t.ly/LmD1P #PlantScience #Drought #TreeMortality

If reaching 10 MPa when measuring water potential with the #Scholander chamber ever scared you 👉🏼meet this double-manometer version—capable of reaching 15 MPa!!!!! ⚠️. #Mediterranean vegetation can be very demanding. 🌿☀️ (Housed at Faculty of #Biology, Seville) @leonorac.bsky.social

Come work with us on hydraulics and the mortality of giant trees!

Our new paper describing a novel method for measuring plant cell turgor is now online at PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... We demonstrate how nucleating microbubbles inside plant cells and studying their growth and dissolution dynamics allows us to estimate turgor pressure.

🌿🔥How heat and VPD shape tree survival? We tested how acclimation to high temperature & VPD impacts drought mortality. While heat speeds up death via leaf area expansion, VPD acclimation slows it down by enhancing stomatal control - balancing mortality timing. doi.org/10.1111/PCE....

And that’s a wrap on the amazing XIM6! 🌲🌳🌴 A lot of great science and fun in Seville, Spain. 💃 Many thanks to Celia and @torresruizjm.bsky.social 👏🏻 @xylem-int-meeting.bsky.social

We'll be there - and delivering some workshops around Europe afterwards. If you're based in Europe and want to catch up with our team, let us know in comments or chat.

Can’t wait for the rock and roll to start next week at #XIM6 in Seville!!
