Abstract:Field measurement of CO 2 assimilation rate in plant leaves is done by clumping the leaf with a chamber and waiting a few minutes for each measurement using special carry on equipment. This costly and labor-intensive method has hindered the acquisition of large-scale data on photosynthesis of field grown plants. We created MIC-100, a new closed-type photosynthesis measurement device with a novel infrared gas analyzer cell that enables high-throughput measurement of leaf CO 2 assimilation rate. The measurement … Show more
