Functional stay-green supports complete grain filling in wheat genotypes, but must be carefully distinguished from cosmetic variants. Image-based monitoring of leaf senescence and canopy temperature dynamics can differentiate between ideotypic and cosmetic stay-green in high-yielding environments.

Frontiers | Thermal imaging can reveal variation in stay-green functionality of wheat canopies under temperate conditions

Canopy temperature (CT) is often interpreted as representing leaf activity traits such as photosynthetic rates, gas exchange rates, or stomatal conductance. ...
