Nanotechnology for Detection and Diagnosis of Plant Diseases

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biobased Nanotechnology for Green Applications

Part of the book series: Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences ((NALIS))

Abstract

The most limiting factor for reducing crop productivity is plant diseases; the preliminary prerequisite to manage the plant disease is to recognize plant pathogens or their causal organisms correctly. Identification or diagnostic tools include traditional pathological as well as molecular techniques for identification which requires a lot of time and inputs. In the recent years, nanotechnology has emerged as a new diagnostic tool. Nanotechnology includes nanoparticles and quantum dots (QDs), nano-imaging, nanostructured platforms, and nanopore tools for DNA sequencing can be used for enhancing crop production and to ensure high-quality monitoring. The main drawback of traditional diagnostic methods is that they are consuming more time and lack of high sensitivity. Nano diagnostic kits also allow experts to help the farmers in preventing any epidemics at a much early stage which quickly detect the potential of plant pathogens, thus nanotechnology can be applied for more cost-effective, quick, and accurate diagnostic plans of plant diseases. Nanotechnology may also be used for the delivery of pesticides at targeted/infected plant tissues. In nanotechnology, the synthesized nanoparticles, which are having specific composition and size, lead to demanding technology. For pathogen detection and control of wound healing in plants, Mycosynthesized nanoparticles are found to be more effective.
