Confirmatory detection and identification of biotic and abiotic stresses in wheat using Raman spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Wheat is one of the oldest and most widely cultivated staple food crops worldwide. Wheat encounters an array of biotic and abiotic stresses during its growth that significantly impact the crop yield and consequently global food security. Molecular and imaging methods that can be used to detect such stresses are laborious and have numerous limitations. This catalyzes the search for alternative techniques that can be used to monitor plant health. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a modern analytical technique that is capable of probing structure and composition of samples non-invasively and non-destructively. In this study, we investigate the accuracy of RS in confirmatory diagnostics of biotic and abiotic stresses in wheat. Specifically, we modelled nitrogen deficiency (ND) and drought, key abioti
