The potential of stable carbon isotope ratios and leaf temperature as proxies for drought stress in banana under field conditions by Vantyghem, M., Merckx, Roel, Stevens, B., Hood-Nowotny, R., Swennen, Rony L., Dercon, G.

“…Leaf samples were taken for δ13C analysis and leaf temperature was monitored throughout the day in a field trial with different banana plant stages (mother and daughter plants) under two irrigation treatments (rainfed and irrigated) during the dry season in Arusha, Tanzania. We found that δ13C, leaf temperature and DANS were highly sensitive proxies for drought stress in banana. …”
