Plant Watch 🧐 - Ryan's (in left) baby peanuts have emerged well. So buckle up Ryan for the upcoming exciting experiments that you have planned. BTW, Ryan is a computational plant researcher from Sim.bio.Sys lab@tvmiiser.

May be this was the first tree health survey IISER Thiruvananthapuram. Last fall, we initiated this event to expose our students to tree diversity, health and biology, and their assessment methods. Students IISER Thiruvananthapuram stay tuned for more such exciting events!

If anyone is aiming to try Exoskin Dynagage sap flow sensors for first time, our short video demo might be useful. The voice support is from Dr Muhammad Fasih Khalid from Quatar University. Feel free to write back if you have questions. Enjoy the demo! youtu.be/KGfHJUlN4cA?si…

Thirsty for light! Are they? We are staying tuned to learn how these small subset of groundnut plants will be doing under a new light regime IISER Thiruvananthapuram

Xylem vessel pits - one of the tinest pores in living systems that keep giant monstrous trees alive. Profoundly critical and yet not completely explored in so many common and uncommon floras around us 🔬🔍🧐

IISER TVM hosted the 1st one. Happy to share this year IIT Palakkad is hosting our 2nd workshop lnkd.in/gXJXAchg

Kerala has unique intercropping farms. Such sites are not very far from our IISER Tvm campus. Excellent opportunities for sustainability research! On our way to Kochi through Pathanamthitta, we stopped briefly to cherish this banana + tapioca farm ☺️👌

My 2nd visit to the Miyawaki forest at IIT Palakkad. A conglomeration of saplings of several native tree species heading faster to become a full-size proud forest. It's even more delightful to learn that this whole phenomena is a doctoral research topic of a student.

A single visit is probably not enough to cover the extensive bamboo collection at Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (JNTBGRI). Students carried a few saplings to lab to get a closer look into their functional traits.

Please join on 25th July as we explore the world of mangroves, hear success stories, learn the challenges and how innovations can turn the tide Global Wetlands Project The Connolly Lab ITMERG UWC

Dream turned reality! For years, I've envisioned using bioacoustics for conservation. Today, thanks to an incredible ₹50 Lakh kickstart from Anusandhan National Research Foundation, that vision accelerates at BVIEER, Pune ! Let's listen for ecological solutions. 🌿🔊 #Bioacoustics #ANRFIndia #DreamComeTrue

World Mangrove Day, July 26 - EcoPhys Lab IISER Thiruvananthapuram shines the spotlight on the extraordinary mangroves of India. We are so thankful to ANRF-CRG, Govt. of India to fund us for leading an exciting project on the Organismal Physiology of Mangroves.

There is an opportunity for joint PhD program between IIT Madras and Deakin University Interested students may contact me by email: venkatraman(at)iitm(dot)ac(dot)in

Thrilled to announce the launch of a new undergraduate minor in Ecology, Evolution, and Behaviour (EEB) at GITAM Deemed University (Vizag)! Admissions are still open for 2025-26: apply.gitam.edu For more details check torsekar.in/ecology-evolut… Please help us spread the word!

Students from IISER TVM & IIST are captured working swiftly to beat the approaching tide in the mangroves. Close to Kollam harbour and Azheekal beach, this restored site offers us a great collection of species to ask deeper scientific questions.

A little make over and you are good to go 😀Our new study from University of Florida-CREC Citrus Physiology lab shows how red and white kaolin can augment the growth & yield of HLB infected citrus trees. doi.org/10.21273/HORTS…

For tree physiology, forestry, urban forestry, & arboriculture folks – our new study on tropical tree saplings' response to water & light limitations is out in BioTropica. doi.org/10.1111/btp.13…. Have a good read and let us know your comments 😊

We had a rich experience working at a most productive and complex mangrove site near Oachira, Kollam. Powerful high tides, blazing sun, and challenging ecophysiological measurements. Risk-taking efforts yet rewarding 😊👌
