Screening of Croatian Native Grapevine Varieties for Susceptibility to Using Leaf Disc Bioassay, Chlorophyll Fluorescence, and Multispectral Imaging.

In the era of sustainable grapevine production, there is a growing demand to define differences between varieties in susceptibility to downy mildew. Croatia, as a country with a long tradition of grapevine cultivation, preserves a large number of native grapevine varieties. A leaf disc bioassay has been conducted on 25 of them to define their response to downy mildew, according to the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) descriptor 452-1, together with the stress response of the leaf discs using chlorophyll fluorescence and multispectral imaging with 11 parameters included.

Application of Phenotyping Methods in Detection of Drought and Salinity Stress in Basil ( L.).

Basil is one of the most widespread aromatic and medicinal plants, which is often grown in drought- and salinity-prone regions. Often co-occurrence of drought and salinity stresses in agroecosystems and similarities of symptoms which they cause on plants complicates the differentiation among them. Development of automated phenotyping techniques with integrative and simultaneous quantification of multiple morphological and physiological traits enables early detection and quantification of different stresses on a whole plant basis.
