Title: Plant–environment interactions: using leaf temperature as a henotyping tool
Speaker: Miguel Costa
From: Plant Molecular Ecophysiology Lab, ITQB
Abstract:
Leaf temperature negatively correlates with transpiration. Therefore,
leaf temperature can work as a good indicator of leaf stomatal behavior,
and of plant physiological condition (e.g. water status). Thermal
imaging is a fast and non-invasive way to assess leaf/plant temperature
and it became an important method used in plant phenotyping. The use of
thermal imaging in plant screening, physiological characterization and
crop stress monitoring will be presented.
