Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association At plant scale, root electrical capacitance had the strongest positive regression with total flag-leaf chlorophyll.
- Association At plant scale, root electrical capacitance had a positive regression with grain mass.
- Association Plot-mean root electrical capacitance was correlated with plot leaf area index at flowering.
- Association Plot-mean root electrical capacitance was correlated with grain yield across years.
- Association At plot scale, the regression of root electrical capacitance was strongest with LAI×SPAD.
- Association Root electrical capacitance strongly influenced final yield.
- Mechanism The polarization of active root membrane surfaces is the main contributor to root electrical capacitance.
- Recommendation The measurement could be suitable for evaluating root size and functional intensity.
- Recommendation The capacitance method can be applied for nondestructive whole-plant phenotyping of wheat.
- Recommendation Root electrical capacitance can be incorporated into allometric models of cereal development.
