Measurement of leaf lamina moisture with a low-cost electrical humidity sensor: case study on a wheat water-mutant

Abstract Background The presence and persistence of water on the leaf can affect crop performance and thus might be a relevant trait to select for or against in breeding programmes. Low-cost, rapid and relatively simple methods are of significant importance for screening of large populations of plan...
