Abstract

The potential of optical fibres in monitoring water uptake from plants is considered. Applications include an optical potometer that monitors water uptake from individual roots, the detection of xylem cavitation using audio acoustic emissions with an interferometric force feedback microphone, an optical displacement transducer that detects changes in leaf thickness in relation to leaf water potential, and the use of fluorescence to monitor water uptake and translocation.
