Abstract

I visited Prof. Daniel Calderini and his research group in Valdivia, Chile.

Keywords

wheat, light, photomorphogenesis

I recently visited Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh) located i n Valdivia. This trip is part of a colaboration with Daniel Calderini in a project about responses of wheat to planting density. My contribution is related to light quality in wheat canopies with plants at different spacing.

View of the plots from an experiment comparing wheat genotypes at different planting densities.

I also taught an intensive doctoral course titled “Ecología sensorial de plantas y aclimatación” and gave a seminar “Usando R en fotobiología”.
