Pn & gs: direct measures but time consuming (~3 min/leaf)
Which is the best parameter to measure?
Ψ: Ψleaf, quick but not always reliable; Ψstem, reliable but time consuming
Tleaf: easy and quick to measure but not always reliable
Chl fluorescence: easy and quick to measure but not always reliable

Identification of a cluster of physiological parameters, potential candidates for phenotyping
Aims
Setting a water stress (WS) protocol easy to perform and to be replicated elsewhere
Good water management in orchards: Fruit-tree water status and irrigationMontpellier, June 15-16, 2015
Discrimination of WS Tolerant genotypes
The “ideal” tool should be reliable, easy and quick (less than 30 sec) to measure
17 apple genotypes, 2 of which are parentals (Granny Smith & Stark Delicious), grafted on Pajam rootstock
Plants were moved into the greenhouse (Tmax = 28 °C and RH ~ 60%)
The experiment was started after the shoots had grown in the greenhouse for a length exceeding 80-100 cm.
Multi-year multi-site experiment
July, 16-20, 2012, Geisenheim, Germany
One plant for each genotype was irrigated at field capacity (t0) and weighed (W) at t0 and on each subsequent day (tn), during which it was allowed to loose water via evapotranspiration, till visibly detectable stress symptoms (shoot apex curling, leaf wilting, etc.) appearance (ts).
FAW= Fraction of Available Water (Wt0-Wts)/Wt0 = 10%Wt0
The Fraction of Remaining Water (FRW) on the last day before visible symptoms appeared (tr) was considered as the threshold at which the pots should be maintained to be sure that they were under stress conditions (WS), although not visible yet.
FRW= 1- (Wt0-Wtr)/(Wt0-Wts) = 37% WA
