Yield and its determinants
Yield is not a trait
Phenotyping should focus on the building blocks
4. Accurate Non accurate
Precise
Not precise
Precision / Accuracy of phenotyping
Is my phenotype
the right one?
Are measurements
Good enough?
5. What is a “drought tolerant” plant?
A plant with:
• enough water to fill up grains
• no more water after grain filling
Hypotheses:
• Tap water?
• Save/manage water?
Focus on traits affecting plant water budget
6. Basic considerations on trait phenotyping
Root / Water extraction
Leaf area development
Leaf conductance
Growth response to soil drying
7. Lysimetric facility at ICRISAT
Advantages:
• Gravimetric
• Long term (3 Wks-maturity)
• High throughput (5000 PVCs)
