Plant Imaging Expert Group meeting: Discovering how plants sense water stress

Please join us on Wednesday, February 28, at 13:00 CET, for a webinar featuring the HYDROSENSING project.

Water stress poses an increasing challenge for global agriculture as a result of climate change. However, the precise mechanism by which plants perceive water availability remains unknown. This understanding is crucial for developing more climate-resilient crops, yet it represents a significant void in scientific knowledge. The ERC-funded HYDROSENSING project aims to address this gap by investigating how plants sense water through the identification of membrane proteins via genetic screening, thereby elucidating the components of the water-sensing machinery. 

We will welcome Thorsten Hamann (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Christine Ziegler (University of Regensburg) and Malcolm J Bennett (Nottingham University) who will introduce us to the HYDROSENSING project and more specifically the application of advanced imaging technologies to investigate cellular biology of water perception in plants.

This event will be a great opportunity to connect researchers and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas on innovative methods and technologies in plant science, thus driving forward solutions to global agricultural challenges.
