研究目的
Investigating the early stage leaf rust in wheat crop produced through rust fungus using light fluorescence from laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM).
研究成果
The study demonstrates the potential of non-invasive techniques for the detection of plant diseases, specifically wheat leaf rust, using laser scanning confocal microscopy. This technique allows for early detection and management of fungal infections before they develop fully, offering a rapid and effective way to monitor plant health.
研究不足
The study focuses on the early detection of wheat leaf rust using LSCM, which may not be applicable for all types of plant diseases or under all environmental conditions. The technique requires specialized equipment and expertise, which may limit its widespread adoption.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study intended to investigate the early stage leaf rust in wheat crop using light fluorescence from laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The wheat leaf collected from National Agriculture Research Council (NARC) Islamabad. Several plants were selected randomly to assess disease prevalence and severity.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) Carl Zeiss 510, Jena, Germany was used to visualize fungal structures by their light and laser fluorescence imaging.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The leaf specimen set on a cover glass and fluorescence image taken using Ar+ laser and He-Ne lasers. The excitation light with the excitation wavelengths of 488 nm passed through 450-490 nm dichroic mirrors down to the sample by 510 nm long pass filter and emitted fluorescence by emission wavelength of 510-565 nm to the PMT tubes.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The images plotted by Zen software of Carl Zeiss, Germany.
