Heavy metal soil contamination poses an increasing threat to agricultural sustainability and food security. Identifying early physiological disturbances before visible damage occurs remains a critical challenge in plant stress research. In this study, we present the extension of a non-destructive real-time optical monitoring platform toward the as...

Pectin is widely studied due to its favorable physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and non-toxic nature. Methylation of pectin represents a natural structural modification occurring within plant cell walls and is considered part of the defense mechanism against microbial pathogens. In this study, molecular docking analysis was performed t...

In the context of environmental changes and the increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices, real-time monitoring of plant health is increasingly important. This work provides an overview of the development and application of nondestructive optical spectroscopy for early detection of stress across a wide range of plant species. The app...
