What is Advancements in Biosensors for Fungal Pathogen Detection in Plants about?

Globally, the pathogenic diseases caused by fungi in plants are the major constraints for healthy harvesting and plantation. Therefore, to lessen these constraints, it is required to monitor these fungal pathogens at an early phase. Currently, ample methods to identify, detect, and quantify various fungal pathogens in the infected plant incorporate ELISA, PCR, RT-PCR are available. But these have their own limitations, for instance, lack of sensitivity, time-consuming, expensive, labor-intensive, requires highly equipped instruments, and skilled personnel for their handling. Thus, there is a strong demand for fabricating biosensing methods at early stage detection with great sensitivity and specificity for different plant diseases. In context, this chapter provides an outline of biosensors based on various biorecognition elements, like DNA, antibodies, and enzymes. They are emerging as a powerful tool for the initial stage monitoring of fungal disease because of their benificial properties like specificity, sensitivity, rapidness, cost-effectiveness, easy to use when compared to the available traditional methods. Thus, biosensors are considered to be a reliable and promising tool f
