Biography
I’m a research scientist in ecophysiology since 2024 at the Institute of Natural Resources and Agrobiology of Seville (IRNAS), belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). During my PhD I studied the physiological mechanisms that explain the control of transpiration in olive and almond trees under drought conditions, combining plant-based sensors and mechanistic models of stomatal conductance. During my postdoctoral studies in the University of Tasmania (Australia) I gained more experience in the field of plant hydraulics using novel plant sensors and applying innovative methods to characterize plant stomatal response. My current research line focusses on linking above- and belowground processes to disentangle the pivotal role of stomata on plant response to drought. My talk will focus on the role of plant hydraulic traits in regulating transpiration during dry and hot conditions.
