An important part of plant science is understanding how plants respond to their environment, so monitoring plant phenotypes is of great importance. CD BioSciences can help customers around the world observe all aspects of plant performance, including size and shape, root structure, growth rate under specific conditions, and more. These data can be used to develop improved and sustainable crops.
Suitable for: Most plants and leaf types.
PlantPen is a reflectance-based device that provides a convenient, low-cost method of measuring the relative chlorophyll content of a leaf sample. PlantPens measure and calculate particular reflectance indices to assess chlorophyll content, protoprotecting carotenoids, and other important features in live foliage. Two standard Plant Pen versions measure the most common indexes: PRI and NDVI.The PlantPen model PRI 200 measures Photochemical Reflectance Index in two narrow wavelength bands centered close to 531 nm and 570 nm. PRI is sensitive to changes in carotenoid pigments that are indicative of photosynthetic light use efficiency, the rate of carbon dioxide uptake, or as a reliable water-stress index. As such, it is used in studies of vegetation productivity and stress.The PlantPen model NDVI 300 measures Normalised Difference Vegetation Index, which is an important indicator of chlorophyll content in plants. The device compares reflected light at two distinct wavelengths, 660 and 74
