FieldDino: Rapid In‐Field Stomatal Anatomy and Physiology Phenotyping
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stomatal anatomy and physiology define CO2 availability for photosynthesis and regulate plant water use. Despite being key drivers of yield and dynamic responsiveness to abiotic stresses, conventional measurement techniques of stomatal traits are laborious and slow, limiting adoption in plant breeding.

The legacy of past droughts induces water‐sparingly behaviour in Grüner Veltliner grapevines
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Grapevines with a drought history showed increased water use efficiency in a non‐water‐limited season, in coordination with morpho‐anatomical modifications of leaf, xylem anatomy and stomata, suggesting significant drought legacies. Abstract Drought is becoming more frequent and severe in numerous wine‐growing regions.
