Great project with great opportunities, lead by a great supervisor in a great lab 😁
So happy to be in that an amazing lab 😀
It was an incredible opportunity to present my work at #rhizosphere6 !
"Modeling water uptake : influence of secondary growth, hydrophobic barriers and developmental anatomy on root hydraulic properties"
We couple functional models with experiments to better understand plant water uptake 🪴
Happy to share my first paper ! 🚀
Thanks to the PEPA lab and my great coauthors @adrienheymans.bsky.social, Rémy Schoppach, Valentin Couvreur and @guillaumelobet.bsky.social !
"Secondary Growth and Exodermal Barriers Shape Local Root Hydraulics: Modeling Insights"

New preprint from @stephanevrg.bsky.social 's lab!
🧪 Simulations + mutant tests show a shift in how we think about plant cell adhesion, challenging "textbook" view on the role of middle lamella.

Thank you Özer Erguvan and all co-authors 🔬

Great annual fun day in Namur with the PEPA lab yesterday. Feeling very privileged to be working with such amazing people! @marcodago.bsky.social @adrienheymans.bsky.social @lucianm.bsky.social
