How root anatomy influences plant water uptake ? PhD student | Bioengineer & Data Scientist | In Silico analysis
🌱 Does #phosphorus shape what #roots release into the soil? Yes, but only at the right moment in the plant's life. New #preprint from Sasha Pollet and Jean-Thomas Cornelis team UBC on white lupin root exudates across development. #plantscience #rhizosphere 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
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

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 🪴

Great project with great opportunities, lead by a great supervisor in a great lab 😁
Guillaume Lobet@guillaumelobet.bsky.social · 2y ago🧪🌱💡 #PlantSciJob Are you passionate about #robust cropping systems? Do you want to explore how #plant #roots impact water flow across different scales? We're happy to announce that we have 3 open positions (1 PhD, 2 postdocs) @ UCLouvain (BE) for the EU project DROOGHT. More: drooght.github.io

🧪🌾 #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 🌱🔬🧪
