Development of a non-destructive plant phenotyping method based on Raman spectroscopy

This PART project for expertise development, technology transfer, and knowledge sharing is aligned with this perspective. We aim to develop a non-destructive plant phenotyping method based on the use of Raman spectroscopy. The objective is to characterize the metabolites produced by plants under abiotic stress, with applications in the production of high value-added molecules. The work is based on the hypothesis that Raman spectroscopy could directly detect the metabolites produced by the plant during the production of therapeutic proteins under stress conditions. This could make it possible to optimize production by intervening before stress becomes visible through conventional destructive methods.
