Abstract:* Visual estimates of plant symptoms are traditionally used to quantify disease severity. Yet, the methodologies used to assess these phenotypes are often subjective and do not allow for tracking the disease's progression from very early stages. Here, we hypothesized that quantitative analysis of whole-plant physiological vital functions can be used to objectively determine plant health, providing a more sensitive way to detect disease. * We studied the tomato wilt that is caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. l… Show more
