In collaboration with the Kurouski lab at TAMU, College Station, we published our first-ever lab paper Confirmatory detection and identification of biotic and abiotic stresses in wheat using Raman spectroscopy in Frontiers in Plant Science journal. The paper demonstrates how unique vibrational signatures in the Raman spectra obtained from stressed wheat samples could be used for ~100% accurate identification of biotic (Russian wheat aphid and mite-vectored virus diseases) as well as abiotic (nutrient deficiency and drought) stresses of wheat.
