Abstract
Approaches for remote sensing can be used to estimate the influence of changes in environmental conditions on terrestrial plants, providing timely protection of their growth, development, and productivity. Different optical methods, including the informative multispectral and hyperspectral imaging of reflected light, can be used for plant remote sensing; however, multispectral and hyperspectral cameras are technically complex and have a high cost. RGB imaging based on the analysis of color images of plants is definitely simpler and more accessible, but using this tool for remote sensing plant characteristics under changeable environmental conditions requires the development of methods to increase its informativity. Our review focused on using RGB imaging for remote sensing the characteristics of terrestrial plants. In this review, we considered different color models, methods of exclusion of background in color images of plant canopies, and various color indices and their relations to characteristics of plants, using regression models, texture analysis, and machine learning for the estimation of these characteristics based on color images, and some approaches to provide transformation of simple color images to hyperspectral and multispectral images. As a whole, our review shows that RGB imaging can be an effective tool for estimating plant characteristics; however, further development of methods to analyze color images of plants is necessary.

Alleviation of drought stress through foliar application of thiamine in two varieties of pea ( Pisum sativum L.). PLANT SIGNALING & BEHAVIOR 2023; 18:2186045. [PMID: 37016728 PMCID: PMC10012936 DOI: 10.1080/15592324.2023.2186045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Drought stress poorly impacts many morphological and physio-biochemical processes in plants. Pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants are highly nutritious crops destined for human consumption; however, their productivity is threatened under drought stress. Thiamine (vitamin B1) is well-known essential micronutrient, acting as a cofactor in key metabolic processes. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the protective effect of foliar application of thiamine (0, 250, and 500 ppm) on two varieties of pea plants under drought stress. Here, we conducted the pot experiment at the Government College Women University, Faisalabad, to investigate the physio-biochemical and morphological traits of two pea varieties (sarsabz and metior) grown under drought stress and thiamine treatment. Drought stress was applied to plants after germination period of 1 month. Results showed that root fresh and dry weight, shoot fresh and dry weight, number of pods, leaf area, total soluble sugars, total phenolics, total protein contents, catalase, peroxidase, and mineral ions were reduced against drought stress. However, the application of thiamine (both 250 and 500 ppm) overcome the stress and also enhances these parameters, and significantly increases the antioxidant activities (catalase and peroxidase). Moreover, the performance of sarsabz was better under control and drought stress conditions than metior variety. In conclusion, the exogenous application of thiamine enabled the plants to withstand drought stress conditions by regulating several physiological and biochemical mechanisms. In agriculture, it is a great latent to alleviate the antagonistic impact of drought stress on crops through the foliar application of thiamine.

Abstract
Plant electrophysiological response contains useful signature of its environment and health which can be utilized using suitable statistical analysis for developing an inverse model to classify the stimulus applied to the plant. In this paper, we have presented a statistical analysis pipeline to tackle a multiclass environmental stimuli classification problem with unbalanced plant electrophysiological data. The objective here is to classify three different environmental chemical stimuli, using fifteen statistical features, extracted from the plant electrical signals and compare the performance of eight different classification algorithms. A comparison using reduced dimensional projection of the high dimensional features via principal component analysis (PCA) has also been presented. Since the experimental data is highly unbalanced due to varying length of the experiments, we employ a random under-sampling approach for the two majority classes to create an ensemble of confusion matrices to compare the classification performances. Along with this, three other multi-classification performance metrics commonly used for unbalanced data viz. balanced accuracy, F1-score and Matthews correlation coefficient have also been analyzed. From the stacked confusion matrices and the derived performance metrics, we choose the best feature-classifier setting in terms of the classification performances carried out in the original high dimensional vs. the reduced feature space, for this highly unbalanced multiclass problem of plant signal classification due to different chemical stress. Difference in the classification performances in the high vs. reduced dimensions are also quantified using the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) hypothesis testing. Our findings have potential real-world applications in precision agriculture for exploring multiclass classification problems with highly unbalanced datasets, employing a combination of existing machine learning algorithms. This work also advances existing studies on environmental pollution level monitoring using plant electrophysiological data.

Influence of Burning-Induced Electrical Signals on Photosynthesis in Pea Can Be Modified by Soil Water Shortage. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11040534. [PMID: 35214867 PMCID: PMC8878130 DOI: 10.3390/plants11040534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Local damage to plants can induce fast systemic physiological changes through generation and propagation of electrical signals. It is known that electrical signals influence numerous physiological processes including photosynthesis; an increased plant tolerance to actions of stressors is a result of these changes. It is probable that parameters of electrical signals and fast physiological changes induced by these signals can be modified by the long-term actions of stressors; however, this question has been little investigated. Our work was devoted to the investigation of the parameters of burning-induced electrical signals and their influence on photosynthesis under soil water shortage in pea seedlings. We showed that soil water shortage decreased the amplitudes of the burning-induced depolarization signals (variation potential) and the magnitudes of photosynthetic inactivation (decreasing photosynthetic CO2 assimilation and linear electron flow and increasing non-photochemical quenching of the chlorophyll fluorescence and cyclic electron flow around photosystem I) caused by these signals. Moreover, burning-induced hyperpolarization signals (maybe, system potentials) and increased photosynthetic CO2 assimilation could be observed under strong water shortage. It was shown that the electrical signal-induced increase of the leaf stomatal conductance was a potential mechanism for the burning-induced activation of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation under strong water shortage; this mechanism was not crucial for photosynthetic response under control conditions or weak water shortage. Thus, our results show that soil water shortage can strongly modify damage-induced electrical signals and fast physiological responses induced by these signals.

Abstract
Environmental conditions are very changeable; fluctuations in temperature, precipitation, illumination intensity, and other factors can decrease a plant productivity and crop. The remote sensing of plants under these conditions is the basis for the protection of plants and increases their survivability. This problem can be solved through measurements of plant reflectance and calculation of reflectance indices. Reflectance indices are related to the vegetation biomass, specific physiological processes, and biochemical compositions in plants; the indices can be used for both short-term and long-term plant monitoring. In our review, we considered the applications of reflectance indices in plant remote sensing. In Optical Methods and Platforms of Remote Sensing of Plants, we briefly discussed multi- and hyperspectral imaging, including descriptions of multispectral and hyperspectral cameras with different principles and their efficiency for the remote sensing of plants. In Main Reflectance Indices, we described the main reflectance indices, including vegetation, water, and pigment reflectance indices, as well as the photochemical reflectance index and its modifications. We focused on the relationships of leaf reflectance and reflectance indices to plant biomass, development, and physiological and biochemical characteristics. In Problems of Measurement and Analysis of Reflectance Indices, we discussed the methods of the correction of the reflectance indices that can be used for decreasing the influence of environmental conditions (mainly illumination, air, and soil) and plant characteristics (orientation of leaves, their thickness, and others) on their measurements and the analysis of the plant remote sensing. Additionally, the variability of plants was also considered as an important factor that influences the results of measurement and analysis.

PLANT SIGNALING & BEHAVIOR 2021; 16:1950899.

Abstract
The circadian clock regulates a wide range of physiological processes in plants. Here we showed the circadian variations of the electrical signals in Broussonetia papyrifera L. and Morus alba L. in a natural state, which were analyzed using the day-night cycle method. The circadian characteristics of different plant electrical signals were compared by constructing a coupling model for the circadian rhythm of plant electrical signals. The electrical signal sensor had two electrode plates, which were fixed on the two ends of the splint, leaves could then be clamped and measured. The clamping force between the two electrode plates was uniform, which enabled continuous and nondestructive measurements. The results showed that an electric cyclic behavior was observed (circadian cycle) with the circadian variation in the plants within 24 h. Both the resistance (R) and the impedance (Z) increased firstly in the early morning and then decreased subsequently, while the capacitance (C) showed an opposite variation. Under different weather conditions, plant electrical signals showed periodic changes when the temperature and light intensity in the environment slightly changed within the physiological tolerance of plant. This indicated that the circadian clock of plant electrical signals could be maintained endogenously. The variation curves of plant electrical signals as time increased were fitted using the sine equation. The characteristic parameters of circadian rhythm of plant electrical signals were obtained. We found that although all plant electrical signals exhibited electric cyclic behavior, but the characteristics of circadian rhythms of electrical signals were different. This study provided a scientific basic for precisely monitoring plant electrical signals, and a reference for revealing circadian rhythms of plant electrical signals and their occurrence rules.

Electrical Signals, Plant Tolerance to Actions of Stressors, and Programmed Cell Death: Is Interaction Possible? PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10081704.

Abstract
In environmental conditions, plants are affected by abiotic and biotic stressors which can be heterogenous. This means that the systemic plant adaptive responses on their actions require long-distance stress signals including electrical signals (ESs). ESs are based on transient changes in the activities of ion channels and H+-ATP-ase in the plasma membrane. They influence numerous physiological processes, including gene expression, phytohormone synthesis, photosynthesis, respiration, phloem mass flow, ATP content, and many others. It is considered that these changes increase plant tolerance to the action of stressors; the effect can be related to stimulation of damages of specific molecular structures. In this review, we hypothesize that programmed cell death (PCD) in plant cells can be interconnected with ESs. There are the following points supporting this hypothesis. (i) Propagation of ESs can be related to ROS waves; these waves are a probable mechanism of PCD initiation. (ii) ESs induce the inactivation of photosynthetic dark reactions and activation of respiration. Both responses can also produce ROS and, probably, induce PCD. (iii) ESs stimulate the synthesis of stress phytohormones (e.g., jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and ethylene) which are known to contribute to the induction of PCD. (iv) Generation of ESs accompanies K+ efflux from the cytoplasm that is also a mechanism of induction of PCD. Our review argues for the possibility of PCD induction by electrical signals and shows some directions of future investigations in the field.

Stochastic Spatial Heterogeneity in Activities of H +-ATP-Ases in Electrically Connected Plant Cells Decreases Threshold for Cooling-Induced Electrical Responses. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22158254.

Abstract
H+-ATP-ases, which support proton efflux through the plasma membrane, are key molecular transporters for electrogenesis in cells of higher plants. Initial activities of the transporters can influence the thresholds of generation of electrical responses induced by stressors and modify other parameters of these responses. Previously, it was theoretically shown that the stochastic heterogeneity of individual cell thresholds for electrical responses in a system of electrically connected neuronal cells can decrease the total threshold of the system (“diversity-induced resonance”, DIR). In the current work, we tested a hypothesis about decreasing the thresholds of generation of cooling-induced electrical responses in a system of electrically connected plant cells with increasing stochastic spatial heterogeny in the initial activities of H+-ATP-ases in these cells. A two-dimensional model of the system of electrically connected excitable cells (simple imitation of plant leaf), which was based on a model previously developed in our works, was used for the present investigation. Simulation showed that increasing dispersion in the distribution of initial activities of H+-ATP-ases between cells decreased the thresholds of generation of cooling-induced electrical responses. In addition, the increasing weakly influenced the amplitudes of electrical responses. Additional analysis showed two different mechanisms of the revealed effect. The increasing spatial heterogeneity in activities of H+-ATP-ases induced a weak positive shift of the membrane potential at rest. The shift decreased the threshold of electrical response generation. However, the decreased threshold induced by increasing the H+-ATP-ase activity heterogeneity was also observed after the elimination of the positive shift. The result showed that the “DIR-like” mechanism also participated in the revealed effect. Finally, we showed that the standard deviation of the membrane potentials before the induction of action potentials could be used for the estimation of thresholds of cooling-induced plant electrical responses. Thus, spatial heterogeneity in the initial activities of H+-ATP-ases can be a new regulatory mechanism influencing the generation of electrical responses in plants under actions of stressors.

Proximal Imaging of Changes in Photochemical Reflectance Index in Leaves Based on Using Pulses of Green-Yellow Light. REMOTE SENSING 2021.

Abstract
Plants are affected by numerous environmental factors that influence their physiological processes and productivity. Early revealing of their action based on measuring spectra of reflected light and calculating reflectance indices is an important stage in the protection of agricultural plants. Photochemical reflectance index (PRI) is a widely used parameter related to photosynthetic changes in plants under action of stressors. We developed a new system for proximal imaging of PRI based on using short pulses of measuring light detected simultaneously in green (530 nm) and yellow (570 nm) spectral bands. The system has several advances compared to those reported in literature. Active light illumination and subtraction of the ambient light allow for PRI measurements without periodic calibrations. Short duration of measuring pulses (18 ms) minimizes their influence on plants. Measurements in two spectral bands operated by separate cameras with aligned fields of visualization allow one to exclude mechanically switchable parts like filter wheels thus minimizing acquisition time and increasing durability of the setup. Absolute values of PRI and light-induced changes in PRI (ΔPRI) in pea leaves and changes of these parameters under action of light with different intensities, water shortage, and heating have been investigated using the developed setup. Changes in ΔPRI are shown to be more robust than the changes in the absolute value of PRI which is in a good agreement with our previous studies. Values of PRI and, especially, ΔPRI are strongly linearly related to the energy-dependent component of the non-photochemical quenching and can be potentially used for estimation of this component. Additionally, we demonstrate that the developed system can also measure fast changes in PRI (hundreds of milliseconds and seconds) under leaf illumination by the pulsed green-yellow measuring light. Thus, the developed system of proximal PRI imaging can be used for PRI measurements (including fast changes in PRI) and estimation of stressors-induced photosynthetic changes.

Influence of Local Burning on Difference Reflectance Indices Based on 400-700 nm Wavelengths in Leaves of Pea Seedlings. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10050878.

Abstract
Local damage (e.g., burning) induces a variation potential (VP), which is an important electrical signal in higher plants. A VP propagates into undamaged parts of the plant and influences numerous physiological processes, including photosynthesis. Rapidly increasing plant tolerance to stressors is likely to be a result of the physiological changes. Thus, developing methods of revealing VP-induced physiological changes can be used for the remote sensing of plant systemic responses to local damage. Previously, we showed that burning-induced VP influenced a photochemical reflectance index in pea leaves, but the influence of the electrical signals on other reflectance indices was not investigated. In this study, we performed a complex analysis of the influence of VP induction by local burning on difference reflectance indices based on 400–700 nm wavelengths in leaves of pea seedlings. Heat maps of the significance of local burning-induced changes in the reflectance indices and their correlations with photosynthetic parameters were constructed. Large spectral regions with significant changes in these indices after VP induction were revealed. Most changes were strongly correlated to photosynthetic parameters. Some indices, which can be potentially effective for revealing local burning-induced photosynthetic changes, are separately shown. Our results show that difference reflectance indices based on 400–700 nm wavelengths can potentially be used for the remote sensing of plant systemic responses induced by local damages and subsequent propagation of VPs.

Abstract
Local damage (e.g., burning, heating, or crushing) causes the generation and propagation of a variation potential (VP), which is a unique electrical signal in higher plants. A VP influences numerous physiological processes, with photosynthesis and respiration being important targets. VP generation is based on transient inactivation of H+-ATPase in plasma membrane. In this work, we investigated the participation of this inactivation in the development of VP-induced photosynthetic and respiratory responses. Two- to three-week-old pea seedlings (Pisum sativum L.) and their protoplasts were investigated. Photosynthesis and respiration in intact seedlings were measured using a GFS-3000 gas analyzer, Dual-PAM-100 Pulse-Amplitude-Modulation (PAM)-fluorometer, and a Dual-PAM gas-exchange Cuvette 3010-Dual. Electrical activity was measured using extracellular electrodes. The parameters of photosynthetic light reactions in protoplasts were measured using the Dual-PAM-100; photosynthesis- and respiration-related changes in O2 exchange rate were measured using an Oxygraph Plus System. We found that preliminary changes in the activity of H+-ATPase in the plasma membrane (its inactivation by sodium orthovanadate or activation by fusicoccin) influenced the amplitudes and magnitudes of VP-induced photosynthetic and respiratory responses in intact seedlings. Decreases in H+-ATPase activity (sodium orthovanadate treatment) induced fast decreases in photosynthetic activity and increases in respiration in protoplasts. Thus, our results support the effect of H+-ATPase inactivation on VP-induced photosynthetic and respiratory responses.

Abstract
Measurement and analysis of the numerous reflectance indices of plants is an effective approach for the remote sensing of plant physiological processes in agriculture and ecological monitoring. A photochemical reflectance index (PRI) plays an important role in this kind of remote sensing because it can be related to early changes in photosynthetic processes under the action of stressors (excess light, changes in temperature, drought, etc.). In particular, we previously showed that light-induced changes in PRIs could be strongly related to the energy-dependent component of the non-photochemical quenching in photosystem II. The aim of the present work was to undertake comparative analysis of the efficiency of using light-induced changes in PRIs (ΔPRIs) based on different wavelengths for the estimation of the parameters of photosynthetic light reactions (including the parameters of photosystem I). Pea plants were used in the investigation; the photosynthetic parameters were measured using the pulse-amplitude-modulated (PAM) fluorometer Dual-PAM-100 and the intensities of the reflected light were measured using the spectrometer S100. The ΔPRIs were calculated as ΔPRI(band,570), where the band was 531 nm for the typical PRI and 515, 525, 535, 545, or 555 nm for modified PRIs; 570 nm was the reference wavelength for all PRIs. There were several important results: (1) ∆PRI(525,570), ∆PRI(531,570), ∆PRI(535,570), and ∆PRI(545,570) could be used for estimation of most of the photosynthetic parameters under light only or under dark only conditions. (2) The combination of dark and light conditions decreased the efficiency of ∆PRIs for the estimation of the photosynthetic parameters; ∆PRI(535,570) and ∆PRI(545,570) had maximal efficiency under these conditions. (3) ∆PRI(515,570) and ∆PRI(525,570) mainly included the slow-relaxing component of PRI; in contrast, ∆PRI(531,570), ∆PRI(535,570), ∆PRI(545,570), and ∆PRI(555,570) mainly included the fast-relaxing component of PRI. These components were probably caused by different mechanisms.

Abstract
Electrical signals (ESs) can be induced by local action of stressors in plants; they influence numerous physiological processes (photosynthesis, transpiration, respiration, genes expression, synthesis of phytohormones, etc.) and, thereby, induce a systemic adaptation response. Development of optical methods of a remote sensing of this response can be important for agricultural and ecological monitoring. Preliminarily, we showed (Sukhova et al., Plant Sign Behav 2019; 14:e1610301) that burning-induced ESs induced changes in leaf reflectance at broad spectral bands (400-500, 500-600, 600-700, and 700-800 nm). The aims of the present work were (i) investigation of ESs influence on difference reflectance indices (RIs) calculated on the basis of these broad spectral bands and (ii) analysis of connection of the indices with water content in plants. Pea seedlings were investigated. ESs were induced by burning of the first mature leaf; ESs had high amplitudes in the second leaf and had low amplitudes in the fourth leaf. It was shown that ESs induced significant changes in RIs, which were calculated on basis of intensities of the reflected light at (i) 400-500 and 600-700 nm, (ii) 500-600 and 700-800 nm, and (iii) 600-700 and 700-800 nm. The effect was strong in the second leaf and weak in the fourth leaf; that is, the response was dependent on the magnitude of ESs. ESs-induced changes in RI were strongly connected with ESs-induced decrease of leaf water content which was estimated on basis of decrease of water index. Thus, broadband RIs can be used for revealing the ESs-induced systemic stress response in plants.
