Whole plant chamber to examine sensitivity of cereal gas exchange to changes in evaporative demand

Abstract Background Improving plant water use efficiency (WUE) is a major target for improving crop yield resilience to adverse climate change. Identifying genetic variation in WUE usually relies on instantaneous measurements of photosynthesis (An) and transpiration (Tr), or integrative measurements...
