A smartphone, a clip-on lens, a calibration slide and a rugged case — everything you need to capture protocol-compliant stomatal images on-site. Always loaned, never sold, and validated across 27 species.
assets/videos/stommini-demo.mp4 et remplace ce bloc par la balise <video>.Runs the guided capture app that enforces the acquisition protocol.
Microscope-grade optics that clip over the phone camera.
Sets the exact scale so measurements are comparable across sites.
Field-ready protection so the whole kit travels safely.
Stomatal density, size and aperture govern how a plant trades water loss for carbon gain — the core of drought tolerance. Because every species regulates its stomata differently, MIAtecs builds a dedicated detection model per crop rather than a one-size-fits-all algorithm.
Stomatal density tied to water-use efficiency — a key selection trait in water-limited regions.
Rapid stomatal closure under water deficit — a direct indicator of summer drought tolerance.
A major factor in rainfed rice, where stomatal regulation drives yield outside submerged conditions.
Sensitivity to summer water stress directly linked to leaf stomatal conductance.
Phenotyping useful for managing regulated deficit irrigation, a common orchard practice.
A targeted trait for variety selection against combined autumn and spring water stress.
Isohydric/anisohydric stomatal regulation — a selection criterion for rootstock and variety in warm climates.
Stomatal density and size linked to resilience against lengthening dry seasons.
…and much more species.
