  7. Are smaller stomata faster in reacting to environmental changes such as light, CO2, atmospheric humidity, temperature ? I have participated with our data in a group publication where we take a closer look at the "Speedy small stomata" paradigm.
    Using data from over 80 plant species, we found only weak correlations between stomatal size and maximum stomatal closing or opening speeds as well as response times.
    Instead, stomatal speed appears to be context-dependent, shaped by species-specific traits, stomatal type and broader anatomical and physiological features.
    These findings support a trait-based approach to assessing stomatal kinetics, which has implications for understanding #EcosystemFunctioning under #ClimateChange and #CropBreeding for higher #WaterUseEfficiency and #photosynthesis.

  16. OK so the "Darkness into Light" episode of "Not Your Butter Chicken," which you can watch at this link, shows the Research and Development Centre where I work.

    In this show, it was nice to see Harwinder and Dr. Priti Maheshwari, who both work at the research centre. Dr. Maheshwari is a scientist and prolific organizer of vital multicultural events in Lethbridge.

  29. Jabal, a durum wheat developed by breeders at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Area with cooperation of local farmers in Morocco, has been released. It is not only more drought-tolerant than most durum wheats but also tastes great according to farmers who trialled it in their fields and kitchens.

    I documented ICARDA's work in Morocco in 2019 and captured a number of farmers inspecting Jabal, which is noted for its long black awns. (The photo used by The Guardian in the link below is actually one I shot in Lebanon, not Morocco and it wasn't Jabal :()
