A novel method for irrigating plants, tracking water use, and imposing water deficits in controlled environments

The study of genomic control of drought tolerance in crops requires techniques to impose well defined and consistent levels of drought stress and efficiently measure single-plant water use for hundreds of experimental units over timescales of several months. Traditional gravimetric methods are extre...
