Webinar Overview
Repairing damaged tissues is critical for plant survival, yet the biological mechanisms that drive wound healing remain difficult to observe in real time. In this webinar, Dr. Li Yang will share how his research team uses the FOTRIC 618C R&D Thermal Camera(now available as the FOTRIC 228Link) alongside computer vision and deep learning techniques to study the dynamics of plant wound repair in a quantitative, non-invasive manner.
Attendees will learn how high-resolution thermal imaging can reveal subtle temperature changes associated with tissue injury and healing, providing new insights into plant defense and regeneration processes. Dr. Yang will also discuss how thermal imaging data can be integrated with molecular and biochemical analyses to better understand the signaling pathways involved in wound repair.
This session highlights the growing role of thermal imaging as a powerful research tool for plant science, agricultural studies, and biological investigations.
