Biosensors for Plant Pathogen Detection

Plant pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and virus-like organisms, are the causative agents of many plant infectious diseases, which are a serious threat to global agricultural development and the safety of agricultural products. Biomolecular sensors are a new means of pathogen detection, and Lifeasible has developed a biomolecular sensor to detect plant pathogenic microorganisms. It is accurate, sensitive, and low-cost, essential for preventing the spread of plant infectious diseases.

Nucleic acids and proteins are essential biomolecules in living organisms and are the most important targets for the identification of biological species. We have developed biomolecular sensors that use nucleic acids and proteins as recognition targets to specifically recognize biomarkers and convert their concentrations into electrical or chemical signals. The analysis system consists of a molecular recognition element, a physical and chemical converter, and a signal amplification device. When the substance to be measured enters the sensor, the target is specifically captured and then undergoes a physical or chemical reaction; the reaction information is converted by the physical and chemical converter into signals such as acoustic, optical, and electrical signals, which are then analyzed by the signal receiving and processing system to obtain the concentration of the substance to be measured.

Molecular recognition elements (or sensitive elements) are the basis for the selective determination of biosensors and mainly include enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids, cells, or tissues. Depending on their type, Lifeasible can also customize enzyme sensors, microbial sensors, cell sensors, tissue sensors, and immunosensors.
