Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Plant imaging techniques refer to various method and technologies to visualize, analyze and quantify different aspects of plant structure, physiology and functions. Visible light imaging captures high-resolution photos to examine plant structures like leaves and flowers. Infrared imaging detects heat emitted by plants, revealing their temperature and stress levels. Fluorescence imaging shows how plants absorb and use light for photosynthesis, indicating their health and vitality. These methods help understand plant growth, responses to diseases and environmental changes. Analysis of these images involves using specialized software to measure characteristics such as leaf area, chlorophyll content and disease symptoms. It allows to track changes over time and compare different plant varieties or treatments. Plant imaging plays a crucial role in modern agriculture by guiding crop management practices, optimizing resource use and developing resilient plant varieties. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of imaging techniques. It unfolds the innovative aspects of plant imaging which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. For all those who are interested in botany and scientific imaging, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
