Biometric Identification of Taxodium spp. and Their Hybrid Progenies by Electrochemical Fingerprints

Abstract

The use of electrochemical fingerprints for plant identification is an emerging application in biosensors. In this work, Taxodium ascendens, T. distichum, T. mucronatum, and 18 of their hybrid progenies were collected for this purpose. This is the first attempt to use electrochemical fingerprinting for the identification of plant hybrid progeny. Electrochemical fingerprinting in the leaves of Taxodium spp. was recorded under two conditions. The results showed that the electrochemical fingerprints of each species and progeny possessed very suitable reproducibility. These electrochemical fingerprints represent the electrochemical behavior of electrochemically active substances in leaf tissues under specific conditions. Since these species and progenies are very closely related to each other, it is challenging to identify them directly using a particular electrochemical fingerprinting. Therefore, electrochemical fingerprints measured under different conditions were used to perform pattern recognition. We can identify different species and progenies by locating the features in different pattern maps. We also performed a phylogenetic study with data from electrochemical fingerprinting. The results proved that the electrochemical classification results and the relationship between them are closely related.

Highly Sensitive Detection of Carcinoembryonic Antigen via an Electrochemical Platform Fabricated by AuNPs/Streptavidin/Reduced Graphene Oxide

“…In order to further expand the application of graphene in electrochemical sensors, a lot of work has been carried out to further optimize the performance of graphene by means of doping other materials, chemical functionalization, and synthesis of composite materials ( Reddy et al, 2020 ). Gold is the most chemically stable metal, with good electrical conductivity and biocompatibility, and can be combined with biologically active proteins, enzymes, and other molecules without destroying their activity ( Karimi-Maleh et al, 2021a ; Wang et al, 2021 ; Zheng et al, 2021 ; Karimi-Maleh et al, 2022b ; Pothipor et al, 2022 ). Gold nanomaterials are often modified on the electrode surface as substrate materials to immobilize antigens or antibodies and provide a good channel environment for electron transfer on the electrode surface.…”

Advances in Electrochemical Techniques for the Detection and Analysis of Genetically Modified Organisms: An Analysis Based on Bibliometrics

“…In order to further improve the performance of electrochemical sensors, nanomaterials have been used in the preparation of electrodes. Compared with the traditional electrode, the electrode modified by nanomaterials often presents a wider linear detection range and a lower detection limit [13,[33][34][35][36][37]. Therefore, this topic began to expand to materials science and nanoscience and nanotechnology in 2015.…”

Changes in and Recognition of Electrochemical Fingerprints of Acer spp. in Different Seasons

“…The use of electrochemical fingerprinting of plant tissues for species identification is an identification method that has emerged in recent years [ 7 ]. The principle of this technique is the diversity of electrochemically active components in different plant tissues [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. This variation reflects, to some extent, genetic differences between species.…”
