The 'Water-Blind' project aims to uncover how plant roots sense water availability to regulate branching. By exploring ionic fluxes and mechanosensing pathways, it seeks to identify mutants that fail to perceive water, ultimately enhancing our understanding of plant water foraging.
Water stress is a pressing global challenge for agriculture, particularly given hostile climate change.
Plants have the remarkable ability to shape their roots to forage for water.
For instance, roots growing through an air-filled space (e.g., soil gap) temporarily halt branching until re-entering moist soil — an intriguing phenomenon called ‘Xerobranching’.In a recent breakthrough, I developed an elegant bio-assay to reveal how roots stop branching by employing the abscisic acid hormone when th…
