ABSTRACT
Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is a powerful spectroscopic technique widely employed for its ability to measure molecular interactions and structural changes at the nanoscale. FRET-based nanosensors utilize spectroscopic phenomena to detect and monitor specific biological events, making them valuable tools in various fields of biology. By capitalizing on the energy transfer between donor and acceptor fluorophores, these nanosensors provide insights into molecular distances, conformations, and binding interactions, enhancing our understanding of intricate biological processes. It has emerged as a highly promising technology for the sensitive and specific detection of plant pathogens. The ability to precisely detect and monitor these pathogens is crucial for agricultural sustainability, ensuring timely intervention to mitigate potential crop damage and yield losses. It utilize the energy transfer between fluorophores to detect molecular interactions and changes, making them ideal tools for probing biomolecular events relevant to plant pathogen detection. This article delves into the innovative use of FRET-based nanosensors in plant pathology, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize pathogen detection strategies for enhanced crop protection and food security.
