The journey of organizing the 6th ´Xylem International Meeting´ (#XIM6) has officially begun in Seville, Spain! ☀️ Stay tuned to Xylem Int. Meeting for updates🗓️

The first article of my thesis is ready! (🧵...) "Mechanical advantage makes stomatal opening speed a function of evaporative demand." academic.oup.com/plphys/article…

In it, we evaluated how the mechanical interaction of epidermal cells and guard cells in angiosperms influences the stomatal response to light. We observed how plants with this interaction respond faster to light at high levels of atmospheric demand than those that do not...

For this purpose, we use plants that cover the evolutionary spectrum, from ferns to angiosperms to gymnosperms. For this purpose, we use plants that cover the evolutionary spectrum, from ferns to angiosperms to gymnosperms...

Through measurements of gas exchange from darkness we see how at high atmospheric demand this interaction is lower and the process of stomatal opening is faster...

This study was carried out during my fruitful stay at Purdue University Purdue Agriculture in McAdam lab laboratory, where he has a long list of very interesting plant specimens. I could explain more, but I don't want to give you spoilers!!! Run and read it! :)

It is a pleasure to have (finally!) contributed to the esteemed anthology of literature questioned by Karlheinz Hahn

Pleased to share this paper, now online New Phytologist, where we look at the genes expressed in fern guard cells, and the functionality of anion channels from the SLAC/SLAH family from ferns and other other diverse plant groups. Check it out here: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

New paper by Feng Acer with Fulton Rockwell and Shmuel Assouline about water loss from bagged leaves. Important read for those who store bagged leaves befor measurments. Free link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…
