Climate-Smart Agriculture: Advancing Crop Stress Phenotyping for Improved Crop Resilience

Presented by Aline de Camargo Santos, The Ohio State University Water scarcity poses a significant constraint to profitable crop production worldwide. Crop physiologists face the challenge of characterizing plant stress responses non-destructively and under precisely controlled conditions to develop efficient stress management strategies. In this study, we utilized gas exchange measurements as stress indicators to gain insights into plant biomass accumulation and water utilization under stress conditions while developing crop stress acclimation strategies. Net CO2 assimilation and water use efficiency were increased in pre-acclimated peanut plants compared to control plants in our study. Our findings demonstrate significant potential for implementing stress management practices based on the manipulation of crop physiological processes.
