A global non-invasive methodology for the phenotyping of potato under water deficit conditions using imaging, physiological and molecular tools.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Drought is a major consequence of global heating that has negative impacts on agriculture. Potato is a drought-sensitive crop; tuber growth and dry matter content may both be impacted. Moreover, water deficit can induce physiological disorders such as glassy tubers and internal rust spots. The response of potato plants to drought is complex and can be affected by cultivar type, climatic and soil conditions, and the point at which water stress occurs during growth. The characterization of adaptive responses in plants presents a major phenotyping challenge. There is therefore a demand for the development of non-invasive analytical techniques to improve phenotyping.

Results

This project aimed to take advantage of innovative approaches in MRI, phenotyping and molecula
