Insights into the dielectric function of plant leaves under water stress

Abstract

In this work, we present a practical approach combining experimental and theoretical analyses to assess water evaporation in Arabica coffee leaves. We examine continuously the changing water content of leaves through optical reflectance spectroscopy and mass loss measurements, beginning from a fully saturated stage and extending beyond the turgor loss point. We establish a relationship between the current water content and the dielectric function, based on the changing of the molecular water dipoles inside the leaf due to evaporation.

Plant phenotyping relevance

葉の含水量を光学反射分光と質量減少で連続測定し、誘電関数との関係を構築する手法が研究の中心であり、植物の水分状態を評価する生理 phenotyping に該当する。
