Abstract:Pine Pitch Canker (PPC), caused by the fungus Fusarium circinatum, is associated to significant economic and ecological losses worldwide. The effectiveness of PPC monitoring, early detection in nurseries and plantations, and the identification of resistant plant material relies on the development of objective, non‐destructive, and cost‐effective tools. This study analyzed the potential of employing Raman Spectroscopy (RS) for the early detection of biochemical changes associated with PPC in Pinus spp. with dif… Show more

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
