Abstract
Reliable and timely detection of plant pathogens plays an important role in crop health monitoring to reduce disease spread and facilitate effective management practices. Several methods have been employed for diagnosing crop diseases including visual inspection of symptoms, serological assays, and DNA-based detection of pathogen. These techniques are less reliable at asymptomatic stage. Additionally, they are time consuming, required costly equipment, produced false negative results from cross contamination, and need professional experts. Another most important limitation is their inability to reach at farmers field. To overcome these hurdles, recent developments in nanotools enabled to miniature the processes for developing biosensors for detecting pathogen presence in plants using antibody, DNA, and volatile compounds as biosensing receptors. Thus, nanobiosensor-based technology provides a new dimension in plant diseases diagnostic systems by offering nondestructive, minimally invasive, economical, and easy-to-use systems with enhanced detection limit, sensitivity, specificity, and on-site detection of plant pathogens. Briefly, the present chapter provides an overview in the development of nanosensing systems for plant pathogen diagnostics.
