Sensors employed in plant science research

Abstract

Outlines the use of sensors employed in plant research for measuring various biophysical activities, in particular photosynthesis. Describes how an infrared gas analyzer [IRGA] takes photosynthesis measurements and looks at the advances made in these gas analyzers. Continues with an examination of other sensors used in photosynthesis research and measurement techniques used for other plant science research such as plant stress. Concludes with recent trends and applications in plant science research and lists some areas of research applications including studies of climatic change, pests and diseases and plant breeding.
