Why did the earliest plant vascular systems diversify so rapidly? We think they evolved to tolerate drought. We show why xylem connectivity was critical for preventing hydraulic failure. @BoudaLab @WasonLab @KyraPrats @HuggettLab @Medullosa 🧵👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This conversation article describes some recent work we did when Prof Craig Brodersen @brodersen_lab visited Tasmania and brought his bubble laser with him. theconversation.com/plants-breathe…

New exciting paper from @brodersen_lab! A new method for guard cell turgor determination leads to novel understanding of their evolution. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We're looking for a plant ecophysiologist working in natural systems with an eye towards global change. Tenure track hire @WakeForest in @wfubiology. Fantastic place to live and work--join us! Details here, app review rolling: biology.wfu.edu/faculty-search… @ForestPlots

New paper in @NewPhyt : Fine root networks match or exceed stem resistance to xylem embolism in ten diverse species. @BotanistBea @CoEPlantSuccess @brodersen_lab nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Really excited to share: our research on the hidden world inside living trees now available as a preprint! 🌳🔬🦠🧬Did you know trees, like humans, have their own microbiomes? We explore the unique bacteria, fungi, and archaea living inside trees. 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The new Plant Ecophysiology department @UniHohenheim has opened a 3-yr postdoc in plant hydrodynamics. If you want to test new theory on plant hydraulic function and failure, come here to exchange ideas & stay for the great facilities. Full description: tinyurl.com/yc5dwwem

New paper out on 3D xylem networks by Ana Fanton, and @BoudaLab! Xylem-dwelling pathogen unaffected by local xylem vessel network properties in grapevines (Vitis spp.) academic.oup.com/aob/article-ab…

💧🌿 New article in @AoB_PLANTS on spatial and temporal dynamics of starch consumption and cell viability within Vitis riparia stems, as a strategy to cope with prolonged drought. By @KyraPrats Ana Fanton @brodersen_lab @morganfurze Full #openaccess 👉 bit.ly/3RIzKM9

@PaulineGrierso1 @HarvardForest Please use them for teaching/outreach! And, if your favorite species isn’t online, we might have already scanned it and can make the data available.

For an artist working to visualize sap flow at the visual perspective of a living trunk at eye level - meaning, not a cross section, but how does vasculature run up & down the trunk? Is it straight columns of parallel vessels? Or are the vessels curved, even interwoven?

Come join our lab at the Yale School of the Environment. We’re hiring a new postdoc to collaborate with engineers and developmental biologists to understand the tradeoffs and constraints in optimizing photosynthesis and leaf biomechanics: tinyurl.com/37vwpsee

Check out our new paper on drought-induced starch depletion in grapevine 🍇 @morganfurze @brodersen_lab doi.org/10.1093/aobpla…

The tension is gripping, and Prof Tim Brodribb FAA loves it. He studies the tug-of-war between forces as plants draw water up from the soil. His team use cameras mounted on leaves to observe the process in realtime. It's as thrilling as it is vital. @UTAS_

Many congratulations to our Associate Editor Tim Brodribb @Brodribb_Lab @UTAS_ on his election to the Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science @Science_Academy! Watch the brilliant video all about Tim's vital research below 👇

Join @YaleEnvironment as a postdoc to study the causes & consequences of forest degradation in Amazonia. Let’s work on solutions & tools to prevent future degradation. Let’s understand how agri intensification is changing the tropics. @YaleBiosphere shorturl.at/jyU04

Our paper on root system vulnerability has been published in @NewPhyt! So excited to have worked with @KatePlantPhys @Vane_Tonet @IbrahimBourbia and Chris Blackman in the @Brodribb_Lab. Visit doi.org/10.1111/nph.19… for more. Thanks to @CoEPlantSuccess and @UTAS_

Officially promoted to Associate Professor today, wow time has gone by so fast! I would not be here without the inspiration and help of everyone that shared a joy for discovering the evolution of plant water relations. Can't wait to keep botanizing @PurdueBPP @PurdueAg

Join our team @YaleEnvironment. The Research Associate position is to support our team with data wrangling, organization, visualization, analyses, and more. Not required, but lots of opportunities to visit the Amazon. bit.ly/3JVWjsA
