Electrochemical Voltammogram Recording for Identifying Varieties of Ornamental Plants

Abstract

An electrochemical voltammogram recording method for plant variety identification is proposed. Electrochemical voltammograms of Vistula, Andromeda, Danuta, Armandii ‘Apple Blossom,’ Proteus, Hagley Hybrid, Violet Elizabeth, Kiri Te Kanawa, Regina, and Veronica’s Choice were recorded using leaf extracts with two solvents under buffer solutions. The voltametric data recorded under different conditions were derived as scatter plots, 2D density patterns, and hot maps for variety identification. In addition, the voltametric data were further used for genetic relationship studies. The dendrogram deduced from the voltammograms was used as evidence for relationship study. The dendrogram deduced from voltametric data suggested the Andromeda, Danuta, Proteus, Regina, and Hagley Hybrid were closely related, while Violet Elizabeth and Veronica’s Choice were closely related. In addition, Vistula and Armandii ‘Apple Blossom’ could be considered outliers among the varieties.

Can Electrochemical Sensors Be Used for Identification and Phylogenetic Studies in Lamiaceae?

“…Overall, these previously established pattern recognition techniques can be used well for the identification of species in Lamiaceae. It can be seen from the different output patterns that the differences in the pattern of plants under different genera are greater than the previous differences between different species under the same genus[26][27][28][29]. This also corresponds to the pattern of biological evolution.…”

Monitoring of Butylated Hydroxyanisole in Food and Wastewater Samples Using Electroanalytical Two-Fold Amplified Sensor

“…Electrochemical sensors are one of the biggest branches of sensor tools that create a relationship between electrical signals and the concentration of compounds [21][22][23][24][25]. Electrochemical sensors have many benefits in monitoring biological and food products such as fast response, low cost, easy operation, portability, and easy modification compared to other analytical systems [26][27][28][29]. Electrochemical sensors can be easily modified to create sensitive and selective analytical instruments for monitoring systems [30][31][32].…”

Evaluation of Peroxidase in Herbal Medicines Based on an Electrochemical Sensor

“…Peroxidases can largely reflect the characteristics of plant growth and development, biometabolic status, ability to adapt to the external environment and genetic differences among varieties. The electrophoretic profiles of peroxidases are relatively stable under certain conditions and are as species-specific as morphological trait indicators ( Yang et al, 2020 ; Ying et al, 2020 ; Zheng et al, 2020 ). It has been widely used as a genetic marker in plant variety identification, genetic diversity analysis, plant disease resistance analysis, plant growth and development analysis ( Karimi-Maleh et al, 2020 ).…”
