This involves monitoring the temporal activity of biospeckle pattern to study the occurrence of stress within the leaf. The effects of water stress in plants can involve physical and biochemical changes. Some of these changes may alter the optical scattering properties of leaves. The present study therefore proposes to test the potential of a biospeckle measurement to observe the temporal evolution in different varieties of sunflower plants under water stress. An experiment applying controlled water stress with osmotic shock using polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) was conducted on two sunflower varieties: one sensitive, and the other more tolerant to water stress. Temporal monitoring of biospeckle activity in these plants was performed using the average value of difference (AVD) indicator. Results indicate that AVD highlights the difference in biospeckle activity between day and night, with lower activity at night for both varieties. The addition of PEG entailed a gradual decrease in values throughout the experiment, particularly for the sensitive variety. The results obtained are consistent with the behaviour of the varieties submitted to water stress. Indeed, a few days after the introduction of PEG, a stronger decrease in AVD indicator values was observed for the sensitive variety than for the resistant variety. This study highlights the dynamics of biospeckle activity for different sunflower varieties undergoing water stress and can be considered as a promising phenotyping tool.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24165260","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]],"date-time":"2024-08-14T10:28:41Z","timestamp":1723631321000},"page":"5260","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Using Dynamic Laser Speckle Imaging for Plant Breeding: A Case Study of Water Stress in Sunflowers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5605-0464","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sherif","family":"Bouzaouia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ITAP, INRAE, Institut Agro, University of Montpellier, 34060 Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9494-797X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maxime","family":"Ryckewaert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"(LIRMM) Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics and Microelectronics of Montpellier, Inria, (CNRS) National Center for Scientific Research, University of Montpellier, 34392 Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1014-7976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daphn\u00e9","family":"H\u00e9ran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ITAP, INRAE, Institut Agro, University of Montpellier, 34060 Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3651-2801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arnaud","family":"Ducanchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ITAP, INRAE, Institut Agro, University of Montpellier, 34060 Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2794-1252","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryad","family":"Bendoula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ITAP, INRAE, Institut Agro, University of Montpellier, 34060 Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"200","DOI":"10.1016\/j.agsy.2016.09.017","article-title":"Towards a new generation of agricultural system data, models and knowledge products: Information and communication technology","volume":"155","author":"Janssen","year":"2017","journal-title":"Agric.
