The development of plant transformation revolutionized #PlantSciences, was vital to kickstart the field of #PlantMolecularBiology, and launched the #PlantBiotechnology / PlantGMOs sector. And, remarkably, the race was competitive but fair, with high-profile papers for all involved!

A quote from Marc van Montagu, stating that "Nonetheless, this was a scientific race conducted on amicable terms, with information being exchanged and synchronized publication of many of the notable papers.".

REVIEW: "Root system ideotypes: what is the potential for breeding drought-tolerant grapevine rootstocks?" 🍇

They summarized nicely the #FSPM challenges of mixing different scales of time and space.

@jxbotany.bsky.social

#PlantSciences 🧪

Root structural and functional traits that interact to bring about root system behavior under drought. One reason root system behavior is so challenging to study and predict is that it results from a complex interaction of structural (red) and functional (cyan) traits that interact across different scales of time (x-axis) and space (y-axis). Even single traits can manifest across different scales of time (whiskers). For example, a complex functional trait like radial hydraulic conductance can change over very short time frames (i.e. minutes to hours) via changes in aquaporin regulation and cell hydraulic conductivity, and over very long time frames (i.e. days to years) via changes in suberization, cell number, and the extent of secondary growth.
