Abstract:
Despite innovations in phenotyping, dissecting impacts of water uptake, transpiration efficiency and harvest index on crop yield under defined drought stress scenarios remains challenging. Here, we highlight benefits of concepts enabling plant growth in extra-large containers accompanied by continuous tracking of transpiration, nondestructive plant growth monitoring, and subsequent yield evaluation.
