This project involves utilization of interdisciplinary expertise in soil physics, plant physiology and biological systems modeling to progress understanding of water movement through soil-plant-atmosphere continuum with emphasis on characterization of rhizosphere/root hydraulic processes and their impact on drought adaptation.
Hydroponically grown plants of chickpea, pearl millet or sorghum (25 DAS or 6-7th leaf stage) are standardly used to measure…
