“…Volatile terpenoids that are induced by insect herbivory have also been shown to be implicated in the attraction of natural enemies of these insects (Kappers et al 2005). Given their role in pest and disease response and their volatile nature it has been suggested that measuring the type and amounts of terpenoids in the air of a glasshouse might be a means of monitoring the health of glasshouse crops (Baratto et al 2005). This idea is particularly relevant to future closed greenhouse designs which will have no free ventilation and within which VOCs could accumulate, thus making detection more feasible.…”

Explorative experiments were done to investigate the possibility that tomato plants infected by Botrytis cinerea have a different emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) than healthy plants. This was done by headspace analysis of volatiles emitted by detached leaves of infected and healthy plants. Principal component analysis (PCA) of GC-FID chromatograms revealed clearly separated clusters between infected and control leaves and identification of an interesting compound. In further analysis by GC-MS, the significantly distinctive component (p 5/0.05) was identified as the sesquiterpene a-copaene. In previous work on herbivore damage, a-copaene was not distinctive, which may suggest that acopaene may be specifically associated to fungal infections in tomato.

“…Recent developments in this area have been reviewed by Sankaran et al 22 One of the major applications of the electronic nose in the food industry is to assess the freshness/spoilage of fruits and vegetables during the processing and packaging process. 23,24 Studies have been conducted to detect VOCs that indicate fruit ripeness and/or compounds that trigger fruit ripening, such as ammonia, 25,26 ethanol, 26 ethylene, 26,27 and trans-2-hexenal. 28 Electronic noses have been used to monitor changes in the aroma profile during storage of apples, 29 to assess the postharvest quality of peaches, pears, bananas, [29][30][31] and nectarines, 29,31 and to detect spoilage in potatoes.…”

The Electrochemical Society Interface • Winter 2010 41 M odern agricultural management relies strongly on many different sensing methodologies to provide accurate information on crop, soil, climate, and environmental conditions. Almost every sensing technique may find an application in agriculture and the food industry. This paper briefly reviews some of the applications of sensors in agriculture and the food industry. Remote Spectral SensingRemote spectral sensing of crops has been intensively investigated and proven to be an important tool in modern agricultural management. Agricultural remote spectral sensing typically refers to imagery taken from above a field where the incident electromagnetic radiation is generally sunlight.1 When sunlight hits the surface of the crop or soil, the light will be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted, depending on the wavelength of the light and the characteristics of the contacted body. The differences in the physical and chemical properties of the contacted body, such as leaf color, texture, and shape, determine the amount of the reflected, absorbed, and transmitted energy of a specific wavelength. The most common remote sensing technique used in agriculture is spectral reflectance measurements, in which the spectral reflectance (the ratio of reflected energy to incident energy) is measured as a function of wavelength. 2,3 The images of the wavelength-dependent reflectance Sensors for Agriculture and the Food Industryby Suiqiong Li, Aleksandr Simonian, and Bryan A. Chin curves, which are known as a spectral signature, are unique to plant species and conditions. The wavelengths measured in most agricultural applications cover the visible (400-700 nm) to near infrared (700-2500 nm) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. 1 Research has shown that spectral signatures in this region offer a wealth of information regarding physiological and biological properties of crops and soil.1,4,5 Special vegetation and crop indices have been derived from the measured spectral reflectance values for studying different agricultural properties. 1,6 Spectrometers, radiometers, or digital cameras can be mounted on a variety of platforms either ground (truck, tractor), aerial (aircraft), or space (satellite) to gather data. Sequential measurements of small areas are made as the sensor platform moves and subsequent processing assembles measurement results into an image. 3 The remote sensing is characterized by spatial resolution, spectral resolution, and temporal resolution.1,3 Spatial resolution refers to the smallest area that can be distinguished in the image. Spatial resolution is directly related to the image pixel size. Spectral resolution refers to the number and width of the portions of the electromagnetic spectrum measured by the sensor. Temporal resolution refers to how often a remote sensing platform can provide measurements of an area. Agriculture and farm management applications typically require a spatial resolution of 2-5 m with a 1 to 3-day temporal resolution, a 1 pixel geolocati...

“…Contaminants generated by materials offgassing at the habitat environmental conditions (James et al 1994) should also be identified. Furthermore, the need to better understand the relation between these air chemical contaminants and plants has been considered of medium criticality (Baratto et al 2005), while great importance has been given to plants' interactions with CO 2 .…”

The sectors of technological and scientific concern are practically all the ones typical for life support systems in the frame of long duration human missions; i.e., food production, in particular via the cultivation of higher plants, and food management; air regeneration (production of O 2 , removal of CO 2 , trace gas control); water regeneration (urine processing, gray water processing, potable water management); solid waste processing; resources allocation and storage; control of environmental conditions (Thermal-hygrometric, light, pressure, radiation, etc).
