Plant Physiology webinar on Ecophysiology

Описание: ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
A recent issue of Plant Physiology, edited by Wagner L. Araújo, Florian Busch, Tracy Lawson, Christine Scoffoni, Xinguang Zhu, and Agustin Zsögön, has a focus on plant ecophysiology.

Plant ecophysiology is an experimental science that deals with how plants respond to their physical, chemical, and biological environment. It also attempts to understand how plant responses are scaled up from the individual to the community. With the accelerated change in global climate patterns, recent years have witnessed tremendous progress in understanding plant function from an ecophysiological viewpoint. Ecophysiological studies have significantly enhanced our understanding of photosynthesis, respiration, water relations, plant nutrition, and plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses.

This webinar features speakers Amanda Cardoso, Thomas Williams, and Sabina Villadangos, who share findings from their work appearing in this Focus Collection. Amanda and her colleagues contributed a review article to this issue, “Plant hydraulic traits influencing crop production in water-limited environments.” Thomas and colleagues contributed a review article to this collection, “Genome-scale metabolic models in plant stress physiology: implications for future climate resilience.” Sabina and Sergi Munné-Bosch contributed a research article to this collection, “A quiescent-like strategy underlies extreme stress tolerance and clonal offset maintenance during drought in Sempervivum tectorum.”

The webinar is hosted by Plant Physiology editor Agustin Zsögön and is moderated by Plant Physiology Assistant Features Editor Thomas Depaepe.
