The , with the model, he estimated the changes in root hydraulic conductivity (Krs) over time, for the different P levels.
What he observed was a decoupling between the impact of P on the total root system size (structure) and Krs (function)

In short, Felix grew plants in rhizotron under contrasted P supply. He digitalised the root and shoot development over time, to be able to calibrate a computational plant model, CPlantBox.

This change was also confirmed by modelling the effect of root architecture changes on Krs using the computational root CPlantBox.
Together, these results suggest that that #breeding may have unintentionally favored cultivars with smaller root systems and more conservative water uptake strategies

With Yann Boursiac, from @inrae-france.bsky.social in Montpellier, he also quantified the evolution of #functional root traits, in particular the root system conductivity (Krs, a proxy for water uptake capacity).
He observed that even at young stages, there was a decrease in Krs over time.

Juan first quantified #structural differences in root system architecture.
For instance, he found out that the number of root axes (seminal and nodal #roots) tends to decrease with time, which was also observed in previous studies (check out Fradgley et al 2020).
But he went one step further.
