Abstract
Abiotic stress like drought and salinity is the major environmental constraints that limit agricultural production. Physiological mechanisms explaining plant tolerance offer valuable insights for the development of genetically modified crops. Plant water status and alteration in photosynthetic capacity are some common physiological depictions which are induced by abiotic stress like drought and salinity. Chiefly it is because both stresses caused cellular dehydration in the plants, predominantly, during the initial phase of stress imposition. In water stress CO2 availability is greatly reduced due to stomatal limitation; subsequently leaf temperature is elevated. So that studies on plant water status and stomatal regulation are important aspects in abiotic stress environment stabilizing the temperature inside plant/leaf. Therefore phenotyping using infrared thermography (heat sensitive sensor) could be a useful tool in the selection of tolerant genotypes. Generally infrared thermography is sensitive, less time-consuming, and nondestructive methodology which detects heat produced or generated by leaf under the influence of external factors. In general, temperature display pattern on IR images is inversely proportional to leaf water status. It was observed that infrared images are significantly correlated with some of the physiological traits indicating tolerance grading among genotypes.
