A small pocket NIR from SCIO can cheaply scan intact leaves from the small Arabidopsis as well as from big leaves as Vitis Berlandieri or Bananas. This instrument is able to discriminate the two pages.
In different cultivars of grape in the inferior page are concentrated more or less some cotton-like formations.
The 1st question is:
Are these hairinesses related to polyphenols ?.
The 2nd question is:
how polyphenols are ontogenetically related to the leaf maturity (sum of the components crude fiber, NDF, ADF, Lignin, crude protein, lipid, ash, free sugars ) till to senescence and death?.
