6 protocols
Bagged flower nectar accumulation
Comprehensive measurement of floral traits (corolla dimensions, anther insertion, petal color, nectar production) and vegetative traits (specific leaf area, trichome density, water-use efficiency) on ...
reflectance spectrophotometry
Standardized measurement of floral reflectance spectra using fiber optic probe positioned at fixed distance and angle from flower surface. Spectra collected across 300-700 nm range for input into visu...
Microscopic dust particle quantification (Plantae)
Standardized protocol to transfer dust from plant surfaces to microscope slides and count particles in defined areas under magnification. Used to calibrate experimental dust treatments against natural...
Ovary response measurement for fertilization assessment
Post-pollination measurement of ovary size changes as a proxy for detecting fertilization events and ovule development. Uses standardized photography and image analysis to quantify ovary dimensions.
porometry
Direct measurement of leaf stomatal conductance using porometer to assess plant water stress and physiological responses to watering treatments. Measured during flowering and early fruiting phases.
reflectance-based chlorophyll index (Polemoniaceae)
Non-destructive estimation of leaf chlorophyll concentration using reflectance spectroscopy and vegetation indices.
