Summary
Plant-parasitic root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., can cause major damage to their host plants. They are globally widespread and their host range encompasses more than 250,000 plants, including many economical important crops. For example, yield losses resulting from Meloidogyne incognita infestation can range between 50 to 100%. The damage they cause, results from the fact that they influence that vascular ...

Modeling stomatal oscillation of fruit trees using thermal and shortwave infrared wavelengths KU Leuven
This dissertation is intended to develop a bioengineering systems approach in modeling “Conference” pear trees (Pyrus communis L.) responses to plant water deficit. Plant water deficit begins when a crop’s demand exceeds water supply. When plants enter a state of water deficit due to partial soil drying and/or high atmospheric demand, the hormone abscisic acid is produced in the root and translocated to the shoot reducing water and ...
