Internal R&D project (Brittany Region)
A project designed to provide innovative solutions for tomorrow’s agriculture (plant health and water status diagnostics). A plant’s photosynthetic activity is strongly linked to its nitrogen or water supply.
Our objective: To study the chlorophyll fluorescence induced by photosynthesis reactions in order to explore the many physiological parameters of C3 (e.g. barley and wheat) and C4 (e.g. maize) plants and stresses. More specifically, the temporal kinetics (OJIP) of chlorophyll fluorescence and the spectral response of chlorophyll (EEM matrix) have been the subject of instrumental developments within the laboratories. Adapted for in-situ measurement, the sensors were then tested in the field during measurement campaigns.
Partners: Arvalis (subcontractor).
