Physiological phenotyping of transpiration response to vapour pressure deficit in wheat.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Precision phenotyping of short-term transpiration response to environmental conditions and transpiration patterns throughout wheat development enables a better understanding of specific trait compositions that lead to improved transpiration efficiency. Transpiration and related traits were evaluated in a set of 79 winter wheat lines using the custom-built "DroughtSpotter XXL" facility. The 120 l plant growth containers implemented in this phenotyping platform enable gravimetric quantification of water use in real-time under semi-controlled, yet field-like conditions across the entire crop life cycle.

Results

The resulting high-resolution data enabled identification of significant developmental stage-specific variation for genotype rankings in transpiration efficie
