## Description

A portable and rugged Infra-Red Gas Analyzer Photosynthesis System with integrated Fluorometer with fully-automated CO2 and H2O control \(for Relative Humidity/Vapor Pressure Differences\) \(including accessories, plus additional chambers, and extended warranty\)\. This will be a new state-of -the-art infra-red gas analysis \(IRGA\) and built-in chlorophyll fluorescence \(CF\) equipment to enable measurement of whole-plant and leaf-level simultaneous photosynthesis and gas exchange parameters in the field and in glasshouse/controlled environments\. It will be a rugged and flexible tool to research trait variation across germplasm \(eg\. across crop varieties, crop wild relatives, inter-and intra-species comparisons\) in response to environmental changes and abiotic and biotic stresses\.
