Abstract:
The leaf diseases of Panax notoginseng (Panax notoginseng (Burk) F. H. Chen) are mainly spread by spores. To enable rapid and sensitive detection of spores for early warning of disease spread, we developed a carbon dot-based fluorescent probe encapsulated by MIL-101 using wax apple as a green carbon source (WA-CDs@MIL-101). The WA-CDs@MIL-101 was thoroughly characterized, and the detection conditions were optimized. The interaction mechanism between WA-CDs@MIL-101 and spores was investigated. The fluorescence of WA-CDs@MIL-101 was recovered due to electrostatic adsorption between spores and WA-CDs@MIL-101. Under the optimized detection conditions, the probe exhibited excellent sensing performance, showing a strong linear relationship (R2 = 0.9978) between spore concentration (0.0025-5.0 mg/L) and fluorescence recovery ratio, with a detection limit of 5.15 μg/L. The WA-CDs@MIL-101 was successfully applied to detect spores on Panax notoginseng leaves, achieving satisfactory recoveries (94-102%) with relative standard deviations of 1.3-3.4%. The WA-CDs@MIL-101 shows great promise for detecting spores on Panax notoginseng leaves.
