Development of novel robotic platforms for mechanical stress induction, and their effects on plant morphology, elements, and metabolism

Abstract This research evaluates the effect on herbal crops of mechanical stress induced by two specially developed robotic platforms. The changes in plant morphology, metabolite profiles, and element content are evaluated in a series of three empirical experiments, conducted in greenhouse and CNC g...
