Vibrational spectroscopic profiling of biomolecular interactions between oak powdery mildew and oak leaves.

ABSTRACT: Oak powdery mildew, caused by the biotrophic fungus Erysiphe alphitoides, is a prevalent disease affecting oak trees, such as English oak (Quercus robur). While mature oak populations are generally less susceptible to this disease, it can endanger young oak seedlings and new leaves on mature trees. Although disruptions of photosynthate and carbohydrate translocation have been observed, accurately detecting and understanding the specific biomolecular interactions between the fungus and the leaves of oak trees is currently lacking. Herein, via hybrid Raman spectroscopy combined with an advanced artificial neural network algorithm, the underpinning biomolecular interactions between biological soft matter, i.e., Quercus robur leaves and Erysiphe alphitoide
