“…The osmotic adjustment necessary under salinity and other stress can lead to an accumulation of compatible solutes and ion in the vacuole (Guidi et al, ; Romero‐Aranda, Soria, & Cuartero, ), and multiple studies (Asner & Martin, ; Cotrozzi et al, ; Ramirez et al, ; Rubert‐Nason et al, ; Shetty & Gislum, ) have reported that wavelengths important for predicting non‐structural carbohydrates and other foliar osmolyte concentrations using spectroscopy are within the 1,900–2,250 nm range. Plant secondary metabolites also play critical roles in plant functioning and greatly contribute to phytochemical diversity, and reflectance spectroscopy has also been used to estimate concentrations of the major groups of secondary compounds including alkaloids, glucosinolates, terpenoids, phenylpropanoids and related phenolic compounds (Carvalho et al, ; Couture et al, , ; Ebbers, Wallis, Dury, Floyd, & Foley, ; Font, Río‐Celstino, Rosa, Aires, & Haro‐Balión, ; Kokaly & Skidmore, ; Rubert‐Nason et al, ; Schulz, Engelhardt, Wegent, Drews, & Lapczynski, ), highlighting again specific absorption features within the 1,900–2,250 nm range. This spectral region also contains the main protein absorption features (Curran, ), suggesting that it is important in the detection of the L × F × S interaction.…”
