Agricultural Applications Of Biophotonics For Crop Assessment Growing Rapidly

The use of Biophotonics techniques in agricultural applications to assess crops is growing quickly. The agriculture industry is predicted to be dominated by microfluidics and monitoring techniques due to improvements in food testing and surveillance methods. Due to the use of this technology in biotechnology labs and research facilities, genetically modified crops may offer present growth opportunities.


Due to the advent of chemical and biological warfare, the military industry is also anticipated to offer growth prospects in addition to agriculture. As a result, the word "Biophotonics" has come to represent all techniques that deal with the interaction of biological objects with photons. This refers to the radiation that is emitted, detected, absorbed, reflected, modified, and created by biomolecular, cells, tissues, organisms, and biomaterials.OCT is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses low-coherence interferometry to produce high-resolution images of biological tissues. It is commonly used in ophthalmology to study the retina, but can also be used in other applications such as dermatology and cardiology. PAI, on the other hand, uses the absorption of light by tissue to generate acoustic waves, which are then detected and used to produce images. This technique can provide high-resolution images of deep tissue structures, making it useful in applications such as cancer imaging.

 

Sensing is another important application of Biophotonics. Sensing techniques such as optical biosensors and optogenetics are commonly used in biophotonics research. Optical biosensors use the interaction between light and a biological molecule to detect the presence of that molecule. This technique can be used to detect a wide range of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules. Optogenetics, on the other hand, uses the manipulation of light-sensitive proteins to control the activity of cells. This technique has applications in neuroscience and other fields where precise control of cell activity is required.
