Happy to share my first paper ! 🚀 Thanks to the PEPA lab and my great coauthors @adrienheymans.bsky.social, Rémy Schoppach, Valentin Couvreur and @guillaumelobet.bsky.social ! "Secondary Growth and Exodermal Barriers Shape Local Root Hydraulics: Modeling Insights" doi.org/10.64898/2026.01.27.701735

Decreased root hydraulic traits in German winter wheat cultivars over 100 years of breeding (Juan C Baca Cabrera , Jan Vanderborght , Yann Boursiac , et al) doi.org/10.1093/plph... #PlantScience @agrosphere-ibg-3.bsky.social,@guillaumelobet.bsky.social

It was an incredible opportunity to present my work at #rhizosphere6 ! "Modeling water uptake : influence of secondary growth, hydrophobic barriers and developmental anatomy on root hydraulic properties" We couple functional models with experiments to better understand plant water uptake 🪴

So happy to be in that an amazing lab 😀

New preprint from @stephanevrg.bsky.social 's lab! 🧪 Simulations + mutant tests show a shift in how we think about plant cell adhesion, challenging "textbook" view on the role of middle lamella. 📄 doi.org/10.1101/2025... Thank you Özer Erguvan and all co-authors 🔬 #PlantSci #CellBiology

📣 Summer School: #Modeling Water Fluxes in the #Soil Plant System UCLouvain, Belgium | 8 -12 September 2025 soil-modeling.org/activities/s... #PlantScience

Great project with great opportunities, lead by a great supervisor in a great lab 😁

🧪🌾 #paperalert Check our latest paper in Plant Direct, by Juan Baca Cabrera. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Juan collected root hydraulic data from the literature & compiled it into a shared database (roothydraulic-properties.shinyapps.io/database).

🌽Check out the fascinating role of root anatomical variation in maize adaptation to diverse climates and soils. 🌾 Congrats to Chloee: chloeemclaughlin.wordpress.com and the other co-authors. A nice paper just before the defense of her PhD 🔓 doi.org/10.1111/eva.... #RootAnatomy #GxE 🌱🔬🧪

The final version of the ggPlantmap is out at @jxbotany.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-... Come for the information, stay for the beautiful figures! We hope it can encourage people to create their own eFP-viewer!
