METHOD FOR SENSING METHYL SALICYLATE, METHYL SALICYLATE SENSOR, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PATHOGEN INFECTION OF PLANTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240183779 titled 'METHOD FOR SENSING METHYL SALICYLATE, METHYL SALICYLATE SENSOR, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PATHOGEN INFECTION OF PLANTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for detecting methyl salicylate, a plant hormone released when a plant is infected with a disease, in order to detect disease infection in plants early on.

  • Zinc compound selectively recognizes methyl salicylate as a receptor for sensing.
  • Utilizes a fluorescence emission phenomenon or a change in electrochemical behavior after the reaction with methyl salicylate.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Method for early in-situ detection of disease infection in plants.
  • Utilizes a zinc compound as a receptor for sensing methyl salicylate.
  • Detection based on fluorescence emission or electrochemical behavior changes.

Original Abstract Submitted

provided is a method for sensing methyl salicylate, which is a plant hormone released when a plant is infected with a disease in cultivation of plants including agricultural crops, and thereby provided a method for early in-situ detection of disease infection in a plant. disease infection in a plant can be detected at an early stage by utilizing a zinc compound that selectively recognizes methyl salicylate, which is a plant hormone released when a plant is infected by a pathogen, and forms a complex with methyl salicylate, as a receptor for sensing, and by utilizing a fluorescence emission phenomenon or a change in electrochemical behavior after the reaction with methyl salicylate.
