🌳💧 RESEARCH 💧🌳 Older, field-grown stems of poplars are more vulnerable to drought than leaves – Rimer et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪 Scott McAdam

Wow, this is the most intriguing title I've seen this year. It's an interesting paper too!

Abstracts for #Botany2026 🍃 are due on April 13th! If you work on gas exchange (CO2, H2O), carbon dynamics (photo., NSCs), and water relations 💧on organs different from LEAVEs, submit your abstract to the Non-foliar Gas Exchange Colloquium @bsa-ecophys.bsky.social: www.xcdsystem.com/botany/progr...

We know it might seem early, but deadling for abstracts submissions for #Botany2026 are April 13th! Be sure to visit botanyconference.org for more details on the conference! @botsocamerica.bsky.social
