In-Field Phenotyping Using the Low-Cost and Open Access Fluorescence PhotosynQ Multispeq Sensor Together with NDVI: A Case Study with Durum Wheat
Durum wheat production is concentrated in Mediterranean climate regions, making it essential to develop cultivars that adapt to its changing conditions, including water and heat stress. In this regard, photosynthetic capacity estimates may help improve the selection of the most adapted cultivars. Ho...

In-Field Phenotyping Using the Low-Cost and Open Access Fluorescence PhotosynQ Multispeq Sensor Together with NDVI: A Case Study with Durum WheatGracia-Romero, AdrianSegarra, JoelRezzouk, Fatima ZahraAparicio, NievesKefauver, Shawn C.Araus, José Luis633Durum wheat production is concentrated in Mediterranean climate regions, making it essential to develop cultivars that adapt to its changing conditions, including water and heat stress.

Durum wheat production is concentrated in Mediterranean climate regions, making it essential to develop cultivars that adapt to its changing conditions, including water and heat stress. In this regard, photosynthetic capacity estimates may help improve the selection of the most adapted cultivars. However, the cost and inherent low throughput of the usual methodological approaches makes, in many cases, phenotyping unfeasible, particularly under field conditions. This study uses leaf photosynthetic measurements taken with a low-cost handheld chlorophyll sensor (MultispeQ Photosynq) and a biomass sensitive sensor (GreenSeeker) measuring the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to assess the performance of six modern durum wheat cultivars. The sensors were employed at anthesis and grain filling under two different types of management (rainfed and support irrigation) for two growing seasons. Compared to irrigated plants, rainfed trials had significantly lower photosynthetic performance during the two phenological stages evaluated. Significant genotype differences in steady-state fluorescence yield (Fs) and maximum fluorescence yield (Fm′) across treatments and crop seasons were found. This study shows that leaf chlorophyll fluorescence parameters can be used to select modern wheat cultivars with an open-source, low-cost, handheld sensor (Photosynq). |
