Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of measuring plant physiological and biochemical indicators, in particular to a device and method for measuring the electrical conductivity of plant leaves in vivo. Background technique

[0002] Generally, the electrical conductivity of plant leaves is an important physiological and biochemical index reflecting the growth status of plants. When the plant is subjected to stress or other damage, the cell membrane is easy to rupture, resulting in damage to the membrane protein, which causes the extravasation of the cytoplasmic cytosol and increases the relative conductivity, which directly reflects the environmental or nutrient stress of the plant. There are two commonly used methods for the conductivity of plant leaves: the pumping method and the soaking method. Although these two methods are standard methods and the measurement results are stable, the test process is complicated and time-consuming, and canno...

Embodiment Construction

[0039] The specific implementation manners of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0040] Generally, for a regular wire (the cross-sectional area does not change), the electrical conductivity (σ) has the following relationship with the current (I) passing through the wire and the voltage drop (V) at both ends of the wire.

[0041] σ = k I V - - - ( 1 )

[0042] In the formula, k is a constant related to the cross-sectional area and length of a regular wire. For a fixed wire, k is constant, and the conductivity (σ) is easy to find.

[0043] However, when applied to plants, since the living plant leaf is ...
