Check out our recent work published in @newphyt.bsky.social showing how pea plants protect basal buds during drought while maintaining hydraulic connection to the stem, ensuring rapid regrowth when rewatered. @coeplantsuccess.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/nph....

Basal axillary buds in pea are hydraulically connected to the stem but are protected during drought by osmotic adjustment
Plants prioritise water allocation to tissues that support their survival and reproduction during drought, but little is known about their tissue-specific drought tolerance mechanisms. In the case o.....
