Resolving the contrasting leaf hydraulic adaptation of C3 and C4 grasses - Baird - New Phytologist - Wiley Online Library nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

Resolving the contrasting leaf hydraulic adaptation of C3 and C4 grasses

Grasses are exceptionally productive, yet their hydraulic adaptation is paradoxical. Among C3 grasses, a high photosynthetic rate (Aarea) may depend on higher vein density (Dv) and hydraulic conduc...

My fav part of being a Prof.: attending commencement. Tearing up as the Dean asked for all the first gen students to stand up (90% of them) and hearing the pride of their friends& family attending. I was especially proud of @Eddie_Barragan_, so excited for what lies ahead of you!

Really glad I got to join @cscoffoni5 and her lab this Monday at the CA Botanic Garden learning how to measure leaf physiology on numerous California native plants! And the best part… no visitors! So we had the entire garden to ourselves! 😁
