  • reflectance measurement equipment
  • nectar measurement tools
  • leaf gas exchange equipment
  • tools for SLA measurement
  • microscopy equipment for trichome density

Output Measurements

  • corolla length
  • corolla width
  • anther insertion
  • petal color
  • nectar production
  • specific leaf area
  • trichome density
  • water-use efficiency
