Recent advances in biosensors for screening plant pathogens

Abstract

Worldwide, plant pathogens have been a considerably important cause of economic loss in agriculture especially in the decades of agricultural intensification. The increasing losses in agriculture due to biotic plant diseases have drawn attention towards the development of plant disease analyzing methods. In this context, biosensors have emerged as significantly important tools which help farmers in on-field diagnosis of plant diseases. Compared to traditional methods, biosensors have outstanding features such as being highly sensitive and selective, cost-effective, portable, fast and user-friendly operation, and so on. There are three common types of biosensors including electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric biosensors. In this review, some common biotic plant diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses are first summarized. Then, current advances in developing biosensors are discussed.
