My work is also directed toward determining why plants exposed to elevated carbon dioxide concentrations often have only a temporary increase in growth rate, and toward determining
what plant characteristics might be most beneficial to the productivity and to the nutritional value of crops if atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations continue to rise.
In addition to helping farmers check crop health, the new system will be helpful for studying how plants respond to changes in growing conditions and for high - throughput phenotyping, an automated method used in crop research and development to analyze how genetic modifications
affect plant characteristics such as leaf size or drought resistance in a large number of plants.
It hypothesizes that decreases in
some plant characteristics, like survival or growth, may be offset by increases in other plant characteristics, like flowering.
Learn more about celery, from its history and medicinal value to
its plant characteristics and growing options.
Complementary information, like the distribution of clone size, and further enquiry on soil and
plant characteristics of the fire site is often necessary to determine the date of the last fire event.
