3rd Edition of Agriculture, Forestry, and Horticulture World Conference 2027
Scientific Sessions - AFHWC 2027
Abiotic Stress Physiology and Plant Phenotyping
Abiotic stress refers to non-living environmental factors that limit plant growth and yield, such as drought, high or low temperatures, salinity, flooding, nutrient deficiency and heavy-metal toxicity. Stress physiology studies how plants sense and respond to these conditions, for example by closing their stomata, adjusting their root systems, producing protective compounds and activating stress-related genes. Plant phenotyping is the measurement of a plant's observable traits, such as height, leaf area, colour, root architecture and yield. High-throughput phenotyping uses cameras, sensors, drones and image analysis to measure these traits quickly across thousands of plants, helping researchers identify varieties that perform well under stress.
What You Will Learn
- How crops respond physiologically and biochemically to drought, heat and salinity
- High-throughput and image-based phenotyping methods
- Using beneficial microbes and growing media to reduce stress impacts
- Turning stress-tolerance research into practical breeding and management
