While still being at an early stage of our 5-year journey, the HYDROSENSING project is moving forward with strong momentum. Over the past 18 months, we have advanced our scientific understanding of how plants perceive and respond to water, while also contributing to broader discussions about foundational plant science, agriculture,…
