Modeling stomatal oscillation of fruit trees using thermal and shortwave infrared wavelengths KU Leuven
This dissertation is intended to develop a bioengineering systems approach in modeling “Conference” pear trees (Pyrus communis L.) responses to plant water deficit. Plant water deficit begins when a crop’s demand exceeds water supply. When plants enter a state of water deficit due to partial soil drying and/or high atmospheric demand, the hormone abscisic acid is produced in the root and translocated to the shoot reducing water and ...
