Description

Fine-scale temperature measurement using thermocouples positioned at stigma level within flowers to test whether different style morphs experience different thermal environments. Paired design comparing long and short styles on same plant.

Typical Equipment

  • OM-CP-QuadTemp (Omega Engineering Inc., Stamford, CT, USA) thermocouples
  • data-loggers

Output Measurements

  • stigma-level temperatures
  • thermal differences between morphs
