New discovery by SMART allows early detection of shade avoidance syndrome in plants – Science Codex

Negative effects of shade avoidance syndrome (SAS), where plants reach for more light to overcome shaded conditions, are irreversible and early detection is crucial for sustainable agricultural practices
Study found Raman spectroscopy can detect SAS in plants within a few hours, while conventional methods rely on morphological changes that can take one to three days
New method can be widely applied across various plant species and crops
Singapore, 25 November 2020 – Researchers from the Disruptive…
