There is a long standing untested assumption that reduced irrigation can mitigate berry cracking. That was the question of our latest research. sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The Stomatal Response to Temperature Is Enhanced by High Evaporative Demand, Consistent With a Partially Hydraulic Mechanism
Leaf stomata respond to temperature even when the leaf-to-air vapor gradient is held constant, yet the mechanisms for this response are unknown, and may be mediated by increases in hydraulic conducta...

New publication in @pplplantarum.bsky.social by Aviad Perry about NSC dynamics in grapevines. We revisited their role in osmotic adjustment and photosynthesis regulation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Do Daily and Seasonal Changes in Non‐Structural Carbohydrates in Grapevine Leaves Contribute to Osmotic Adjustment and Regulation of Photosynthesis?
Leaves maintain a pool of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) whose size can vary over hourly and longer timescales. We tested two long-standing hypotheses regarding potential physiological roles of c...

🖥️ From Plant, Cell & Environment: A new psychrometric correction removes humidity-driven bias in LI-600 porometer readings, aligning stomatal conductance estimates with IR gas analysis. (Kyle T. Rizzo, Brian N. Bailey) ▶️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #PlantScience

A Psychrometric Temperature Correction for the Positive Bias Observed in Stomatal Conductance Measured by the Open Flow‐Through LI‐600 Porometer
The study showed that the LI-COR LI-600 porometer systematically overestimates stomatal conductance relative to LI-6800 gas exchange measurements, with the bias increasing at high stomatal conductanc...

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already happened. - Douglas Adams

A new paper in @theplantjournal.bsky.social showing that osmotic adjustment in grapevine is not a function of temperature or water deficit. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Is it completely an endogenous phenomenon?

Leaf seasonal osmotic adjustment is not driven by temperature or water deficit
The study provides evidence of a seasonal osmotic adjustment in grapevine (Vitis vinifera cv. Pinot noir). The rate of seasonal osmotic adjustment is mostly independent of the ambient temperature con....
