DROPS training course - Phenotyping for drought tolerance

  • Data: 04 marzo 2015 dalle 09:00 alle 17:00

Partecipanti: Roberto Tuberosa

9:00 – 9:10. Welcome (R. Tuberosa) and introduction (F. Tardieu).

9:10 – 10:30. Root system architecture and growth.

‐ Characterization of root system for water uptake (X. Draye and G. Hammer).
‐ Phenotyping methods (X. Draye).
‐ How the root system is taken into account in current models (X. Draye and G. Hammer). ‐ Discussion.

10:30 – 10:50. Coffee break

10:50 – 12:50. Leaf growth, leaf area, light interception, transpiration.

‐ Leaf area, leaf interception and transpiration (F. Tardieu).
‐ Phenotyping methods: platforms, field with proxies, field with UAVs. (F. Tardieu and audience).
‐ Computer exercise based on the APSIM excel sheet: changing the sensitivity of leaf growth to water

deficit under different scenarios (B. Parent and S. Lacube). ‐ Discussion.

12:50 – 13:50. Lunch

13:50 – 15:50. Canopy temperature and transpiration.

‐ Canopy temperature as the result of energy balance. Causes of variation, spatial variability
(F. Tardieu).
‐ Phenotyping methods (hand, UAVs). (G. Hammer and X. Draye).
‐ Computer exercise with different causes of variation of canopy temperature (roots and stomata).

Relations with yield in both cases under contrasting scenarios (G. Hammer). ‐ Discussion.

15:50‐16:00. Concluding remarks. F. Tardieu.
